About

IT Systems Administrator currently working at ČEZ Distribuce, maintaining enterprise systems running the Apache Big Data stack (Hadoop, Kafka, Ozone, etc.) on RHEL 9. Responsible for system maintenance, infrastructure automation with Ansible, user support, and troubleshooting in a corporate environment.

Outside of work, I maintain a Proxmox-based home lab with ZFS storage, GPU passthrough, and containerized services. I build efficient, maintainable systems - from enterprise deployments to custom C utilities - and try to keep overhead low and reliability high.
