Václav Pavlín is a pragmatic technologist with 12 years of experience building and hardening cloud-native platforms, AI services, and privacy-first peer-to-peer systems. He led architecture and delivery for Open Data Hub at Red Hat, shipping production AI/ML platforms on OpenShift, and later shifted focus to decentralised messaging as a core contributor and solutions engineer for Waku. Comfortable across DevOps, test automation and backend engineering, he’s contributed JupyterHub Selenium tests and Kafka integrations to large open-source manifests for Open Data Hub. Now self-styled “Chaos Agent” at the Institute of Free Technology, he deliberately disrupts systems to find and fix real-world resilience and security gaps. He combines deep container and orchestration expertise with a master’s in IT security and hands-on experience building Go backends and smart-contract-related infrastructure. Colleagues know him as a curious connector who moves between startups, research and open-source projects to make censorship-resistant, privacy-preserving systems actually work.
