Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolTomáš Nožička is a Principal Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building and operating cloud-native infrastructure, particularly around Kubernetes and high-performance databases. He led development of the Scylla Operator to manage ScyllaDB on Kubernetes and has deep hands-on knowledge of CRDs, client-go, informers, CSI and upstream Kubernetes API machinery. At Red Hat he helped design a self-hosted, auto-upgrading control plane for OpenShift and served as an emeritus SIG-Apps approver, contributing to core controllers like Deployments and StatefulSets. His work blends backend development, DevOps and CI/CD automation—evident from extensive contributions that modernized build machinery, dependency verification and test stability in projects such as openshift and kubernetes. Based in Czechia, he pairs systems-level engineering with project leadership and a track record of migrating tests and build processes to native Go tooling. A somewhat unusual strength is his consistent focus on build and release reliability—fixing scripts, cert handling and cross-builds that keep large distributed projects shipping.
