# Vladimír Strýček (VladoPortos)

> Cloud & DevOps Engineer in Bratislava, Slovakia. Engineer, Virtual Private Cloud at DXC Technology since 2018; 19 years in IT since 2007. Open to remote roles.

Engineer, Virtual Private Cloud at DXC Technology (since 2018). Previously long-term Linux/Unix administrator at HP and HPE. Automates enterprise private cloud with Ansible, AWX, Vault, VMware, Nutanix and Kubernetes. Ships open-source, self-hosted tools that never phone home. Builds with AI agents as a daily practice. The website itself is a 3D server room: rack A holds the projects, rack B the homelab they run on. Every fact in it is also in the files below.

Also available for short, one-off consulting (the fire extinguisher in the room): Not every problem needs a new hire. For short, one-off jobs I work as a consultant: a few hours or days to get an AI or agent project unstuck, check how it is wired, or put out an automation fire.
