Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolHonza Horak is a senior engineering manager with 15 years of experience leading platform and application stacks at Red Hat, spanning databases, Python, Ruby, Node.js and container ecosystems. He combines hands-on DevOps and backend expertise with people leadership—moving from package maintenance to managing multiple teams responsible for RHEL/Fedora user-space and Software Collections. A prolific open-source contributor to a broad set of sclorg container projects (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Nginx, Python, PHP, NodeJS), he focuses on test automation, OpenShift integration and multi-arch/container compatibility. His work often lives at the intersection of database internals and container build/test automation, such as GTID-based MySQL replication and adapting integration tests to remote OCP4 clusters. Based in Brno, he brings a pragmatic, “nothing is impossible” attitude and a knack for turning legacy packaging challenges into repeatable CI/CD and container solutions.
