Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJan Štourač is a Senior Software Quality Engineer with 11 years of experience building and testing robust server-side systems, currently ensuring Red Hat JBoss EAP quality from CI pipelines to RPM tooling. He combines deep hands-on development across hardware (VHDL), embedded C, and modern Java/C++ backends with test automation expertise in Jenkins, JUnit/TestNG and Git-based workflows. A frequent contributor to high-profile open-source projects like Undertow and WildFly, he has fixed protocol-level HTTP/2 issues and hardened session and security-related test coverage. Comfortable across GNU/Linux and FreeBSD stacks and UI toolkits (Qt, SmartGWT), he bridges developer and QA perspectives to ship reliable features faster. Jan’s background in time-stamping FPGA modules and an information security engineering degree give him an uncommon systems-level view of correctness and timing that informs his testing strategies. Based in Brno, he favors pragmatic tooling (Vim, Bash, Maven) and incremental improvements that reduce flakiness and increase confidence in production releases.
