Work 💼

I'm Senior DevOps/Platform engineer

In a human language, it means that I am responsible for lifecycle and maintenance of server side applications. I maintain the layer between operating system and the application. I automate as much as possible so the work is done by a machine, not by me. This allows fast scaling and more automations.

That's not all, what a DevOps engineer does. I also automate development: when developer pushes code to the server (git commit; git push), automated pipeline is invoked, which runs things like linters, automated tests, and then builds the application into an artifact. The artifact is then deployed onto a server or AppStore. That's that in a nutshell.

And because it's not enough, I do trainings about the DevOps technologies. More about that on my work website.

Hobbies 🪏

Scout 🏕️

I'm scout for 20 years. In that time, I've been to many camps, scout races, events, courses, meetings and more... I think it's great and everyone should at least try it 😃

In 2023 I attended World Scout Jamboree in South Korea as a member of Czech Contingent Management Team. Thanks to the typhoon, poor management and many other issues, this Jamboree blew up in the news and we were everywhere. Everything was fine in the end, so I have many intense memories. But, such event kind of killed my will to do anything like this ever again.

Gym 🏋️‍♂️

I work in IT, I work at a table. So to do some excercise, I go to gym "Železná Koule" three times a week. .

Surfing 🏄‍♂️

I like to surf, a great sport for landlocked state...

Guitar 🎸

A few years ago I've started learning to play guitar, so I can play some favourite songs of mine near campfire.

Slackline ❓

Slackline is for me a (work-life) balance. It's fun. Sometimes I go to regular Wednesday Slackline meeting in Prague, park Stromovka near the Planetarium.
