About me

Hi, I'm Zdenek

I'm 23, from the beautiful nature of the Czech Republic. I break computer systems for a living and then help people understand how to put them back together again, a bit safer than before.

I like solving problems without drama (similar to my girlfriend, but she needs the drama). I also like computers, mountains, and people who don't take themselves too seriously.

How I work

I believe in learning by doing, not reading manuals, failing continuosly all the way to the success.

• Evidence over fear and cool buzzwords
• Script first, repeat later
• Clear notes, calm communication, and no drama

Path so far

Now

Penetration tester for critical infra & enterprise networks. Building internal tooling, learning new things every week, still curious every day.

Earlier

CTFs, security labs, breaking my own setups, endless notes, and learning how to write reports humans can actually read.

Way back

Grew up outdoors. Bikes, forests, messing with tech and taking things apart (success rate of re-assembly: let's say improving).

Outside work

Nature is where my brain resets. I spend time in forests, usually with a camera, especially during deer rut season. It's patience training disguised as photography.

I also like motorcycles, mountains, coffee, and the feeling of leaving the city behind.
