I am a Senior Linux System Administrator based in the Czech Republic, with over eight years of experience running enterprise Linux environments. My core stack is the Red Hat ecosystem: RHEL, Ansible for automation, and OpenShift for container workloads.

I build infrastructure that can be rebuilt from code, monitored around the clock, and handed over to a colleague without a long explanation. Everything I deploy is automated with Ansible, tracked in git, and covered by monitoring. Open source is my standard toolset, at work and at home.

homelab

My homelab runs around the clock and follows the same practices I use at work. Everything is virtualized, monitored, segmented, and deployed with Ansible. It hosts services my household actually depends on, so reliability is not optional.

I use it to test upgrades, new tools, and automation changes before recommending them anywhere near a production system. It is also where I prepared for my Red Hat exams.

Virtualization
