Hi, I'm Jakub, a DevOps Engineer since 2019 and Google Cloud Architect since 2023. Currently working for a software house - SoftwareMill.
My professional interests include cloud computing, infrastructure automation, and CI/CD pipelines. I'm passionate about designing and implementing scalable, secure, and cost-effective solutions.
In my free time, I enjoy developing software using Python and Angular, exploring self-hosted projects, and discovering software for Linux. By the way, I'm also a scuba diver and ham radio operator.
