Patrik Kőlbl is a versatile senior software engineer with 15+ years building and modernizing web platforms, currently focused on e‑commerce at Benu.cz and running Recepty.eu as a long‑running project founder. He brings deep PHP expertise across versions 4–8, strong frontend skills with Preact/Vue/React, and hands‑on cloud native/DevOps practice (Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, GitLab CI). Patrik has led large legacy migrations and performance overhauls (Symfony, NGINX, PHP‑FPM, Elasticsearch) and still contributes meaningful fixes to well‑known open source repos like Preact and API Platform. Comfortable switching between developer, DevOps and project‑owner roles, he pairs pragmatic engineering with product ownership and a taste for infrastructure automation. An interesting detail: he runs a production consumer site (recepty.eu) he built and redesigned himself, giving him daily operational empathy for the systems he architects.
