Tomáš Krčál

Software Engineer

Hi, I’m Tomáš a senior full-stack developer and DevOps engineer with 8+ years of experience building scalable applications, managing complex cloud infrastructure, and designing complete end-to-end digital products.

My programming journey started back in high school, where I quickly discovered my passion for technology. I taught myself PHP and JavaScript, and soon expanded into modern frontend frameworks like ReactJS, NextJS, VueJS, and React Native. Over time, I grew my backend skills with Node.js, Laravel, MySQL, and MongoDB.

After co-founding GeekCoders, a digital agency, I naturally stepped into infrastructure and DevOps building Docker images, automating CI/CD pipelines, and orchestrating deployments. This hands-on experience led me deeper into Kubernetes, where I earned my certification and began managing cloud-native environments across AWS and DigitalOcean.

Later, I joined Mall.cz, gaining deep experience running production Kubernetes workloads at scale. After Mall.cz became part of the Allegro Group, I contributed to the platform migration of CZC.CZ and MALL.CZ into Allegro’s ecosystem.

Currently, I’m working with the GeekCoders, DeepVision and DeepGaming group, where I independently manage and maintain multiple Kubernetes clusters (around 5 active clusters), acting as a solo DevOps engineer. I design and maintain infrastructure that empowers developers to focus on shipping code providing:

Helm charts for streamlined application deployment.

Base PHP, Node.js, and frontend Docker images.

Stateless application architecture design.

Infrastructure consulting: helping teams choose the right technologies for the right use-cases (e.g. RabbitMQ for messaging, Redis or KeyDB for sessions, etc).

Security services like Consul, Vault, and secret management.

Hybrid workflows combining managed VPS with Kubernetes integrations.

Custom integrations like managed analytics stacks (Redash, ClickHouse, etc).

In parallel, I’ve also pursued my passion for solo projects building apps and games such as Cat Conquest, Rotspire, and QuizRaid, where I blend my full-stack and infrastructure knowledge to deliver full products end-to-end. I even picked up SwiftUI in just one month to create my own native mobile apps.

Beyond work, I enjoy catching a beer with friends, playing guitar, gaming, and spending time with my three cats. I love working on projects that make sense, create real value, and help my customers succeed.
