I am a software engineer who works for Red Hat. 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.

My internet nick is typically lzap, that’s el-zet-ej-pi.

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