Computers have been fascinating to me since my childhood. Throughout life, I have primarily settled on the software side of IT. I often code and build my own apps, which are mainly running in the cloud environment.

My alma mater gave me technical and analytical skills. I was taught to dive into the problem, to look into it from different perspectives, and to come up with an efficient solution to it.

I have experience with professional teamwork at a medium-sized telco and IT companies, as well as communication with other collegues and B2B peers.

Currently, I am based in Brno, Czech Republic, EU.

technical background

I use Docker containers a lot, mainly using the docker-compose stacking technique. Moreover, I prefer RHEL-like/RHEL-derived GNU/Linux distros like Fedora and Almalinux. Personally, I use Fedora 39 with i3wm. I have also got some experiences with Debian-like distributions (e.g. Raspbian for Raspberry Pi desk computers).

As shown in Fig. 1, I tend to use various programming languages as the time flies. Currently, my preferred programming language is Go (golang). I like its relative simplicity, speed and practical application in server programming and monitoring.

Before that I used PHP for most of projects of that time. Unfortunately, I haven’t really used any popular/widely known PHP framework as I had been coding and prototyping just small tooling and simple applications.

At university in Brno, I had been working mainly with MATLAB, and Swift languages for my Bachelor’s thesis.

For basic prototyping and scripting, I also use Linux/Unix shell scripting (bash, sh).

hobbies

I am an IT & electronics enthusiast — I run several private hardware and software projects. I love exploring new alternative music (and making various playlists — spotify profile) and movies. Also, politics, physics (meteo/hydrology), and linguistics interest me a lot.

I tend to like Scandinavian architecture, mindset, culture, and languages (I study Norwegian — norsk bokmål — at the moment too). Would love to go on exploring those countries soon (already been to Oslo).

I am also a great fan of minimalism and the KISS (keep it simple, silly) principle. Tend to like low-level programming and networking, while keeping it simple and (mostly) documented.

As far as sports are concerned, yoga, hiking, and mountain biking seem like a good party to me.
