Hello, World!
11/15/2025
Welcome to my corner of the internet. After two decades of building backend systems and cloud infrastructure for enterprise clients, I’ve decided it’s time to share some thoughts, lessons, and experiments from my engineering journey.
I’m Marek Novak, a system engineer based in Prague. My work revolves around scalable web architectures, performance optimization, and automation. I believe in clean code, open-source collaboration, and the power of mentorship. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of guiding junior developers and watching them grow into confident engineers.
This blog will be a mix of technical deep dives, reflections on engineering culture, and occasional detours into my personal interests—like hiking in the Bohemian Forest or brewing the perfect cup of coffee at home.
Today’s photo captures my workspace on a quiet autumn morning in Prague. A fresh brew, a clean desk, and a mind ready to build.
Thanks for stopping by. Let’s build something great together.
