Speaker • Since 2018

Talks, Workshops and the Craft Behind Them

Since 2018 I've shared what I build and learn on stages, meetups, webinars and podcasts, from Red Hat Summit and DevConf.CZ to KCD Istanbul and Devnot Developer Summit. Kubernetes operators, event streaming and software craftsmanship, and more and more the mindset side of engineering.
