// Database Expert · Prague, Czechia
I really do love databases, system architecture, and storage solutions. MySQL/Percona expert and enthusiast for every single engine I touch.
Experienced database administrator with a rich Linux background, focusing on delivery and customer happiness. I love databases, system architecture, and DB/OS storage solutions — from the very first query plan to production storage tuning under heavy load.
Created a visible footprint for the (invisible) DB2 community in the Czech Republic, became a MySQL/Percona expert, and approach every new database engine with genuine curiosity. Emerging obsessions: CrateDB, ArcadeDB, DragonflyDB.
Currently at Rohlik Group — a European e-grocery leader — using Claude and AI tools every single day: detecting anomalies, improving monitoring coverage, finding schema and query flaws before they hit production. Beyond the main stack, I've written 20+ smaller internal tools that cut toil, speed up diagnostics, and make the team's life measurably better.
performance_schema.events_statements_history_long in real time and generates a self-contained HTML timeline — no server, no build step, just open the file.
cloud-sql-proxy tunnel is opened to the target instance; no database port is ever exposed to the networkinformation_schema and performance_schema; nothing is written, results land as plain TSV files
