About

My journey started at 13 with Linux forums and experimenting with BackTrack 5. While others were gaming, I was trying to understand how systems break — and how to fix them.

That curiosity led me through the full IT spectrum: from QA testing to software development, and finally to security engineering. This path gave me a unique advantage — I speak the language of developers because I was one.

Over the last 7+ years, I've worked with companies ranging from 50 to 1000+ employees. I've served as a CISO, built DevSecOps pipelines from scratch, and led cloud security across AWS, GCP, and Kubernetes environments. Most of my work has been with startups — fast-moving teams where security has to enable velocity, not fight it.

More recently, I've been researching how ML and NLP can solve real problems in security. My first paper is on training small models for vulnerability classification — the model and dataset are public on HuggingFace. More coming.

I'm based in Prague. When I'm not breaking or securing things, I'm probably reading papers or training models.
