Jan Kaluza is a Principal Software Engineer with over a decade of experience architecting and operating CI/CD and delivery systems for RHEL at Red Hat, now contributing to Podman and container tooling. He began coding as a child and progressed from package maintainer and Apache httpd committer to leading a 12-engineer team that rebuilt RHEL compose pipelines and automation (Freshmaker, ODCS, CTS). Known for proposing and implementing durable internal services, he blends deep systems-level C/C++ and Python expertise with pragmatic product ownership to improve developer workflows and release reliability. Jan has a history of steering complex migrations—most notably the RHEL-on-GitLab transformation—and enjoys turning ad-hoc processes into repeatable, auditable systems. Based in Czechia, he pairs hands-on engineering with team leadership and a restless curiosity that drives him to tackle problems outside his comfort zone. An open-source veteran since his teens, he brings both historical perspective and modern cloud-native practice to large-scale platform engineering.
