Jiří Suchomel is a Staff Software Engineer with 23 years of experience focused on the intersection of DevOps and MLOps, now based in Czechia. He has driven cloud and Kubernetes tooling, OpenStack deployments, and production ML model delivery across companies including SUSE, Shipamax, Heureka Group, Stats Perform, and Cloudera. A pragmatic engineer, he contributes to open source projects like OpenStack manuals, Helm charts, and the crowbar cloud operations platform, often improving installation, upgrade and automation workflows for SUSE-based environments. Jiří pairs deep infrastructure expertise with Python-centric MLOps practices and multi-cloud (AWS/Azure) production experience. Notably, his background spans both low-level distribution tooling (YaST) and modern MLOps frameworks, giving him rare end-to-end insight from OS packaging to model serving. He holds an Mgr in Informatics (and Theology) from Charles University, reflecting a broad intellectual curiosity beyond pure engineering.
