About me

A software engineer working for Red Hat, subsidiary of IBM. My primary interest is in Linux server management software development with focus on provisioning, PXE/HTTP UEFI booting, hardware discovery and networking. I am also involved in security and performance aspects of the projects and products I co-maintain.

I run Red Hat Administration courses (RHA 1-2-3) at Palacký University in Olomouc.

I live and work in Velký Týnec, Olomoucký kraj, Czechia, Europe.
