About me

Hi! I'm David Zisky and this is my personal IT-related "portfolio" website and blog.

If you found this website on the resume I sent you, you either go to "Resume" where you can see an old-school type CV/Experience listing page or if you actually care about who you hiring as a person you should rather read the pinned post on the main page ;)

Tip: If you google "David Zisky" you may also find my photography portfolio website. Yes, I do photography as a hobby

If you ended up here for any other reason, enjoy and feel free to contact me at david@zisky.net if you'll need anything from me :)

I am (mainly) a Cloud Native Consultant but there is a bit more to it. I have over 10 years of experience in IT mainly on the infrastructure side but I can code too. During my career, I gathered knowledge from quite a few different areas/perspectives.

I'd say that the last couple of years working as a consultant literally doubled my experience since I am designing and helping with Cloud Native Transformation to various companies, from small start-ups that needed to scale quickly to big financial corporations that needed to move faster.

Besides actual system/cloud engineering, I focus on growing as a leader, both internally by leading tech teams and externally by dealing with politics and psychology on the client side. In fact, most Cloud Native Transformations are 40% engineering and 60% changing peoples mindsets, improving processes, implementing proper knowledge sharing and building engineering culture.

I speak at conferences, I write here and on medium.com and I contribute to open-source.

Privately I love science (which means everything mechanical/electrical engineering related), I do photography, I love to work on my car, I am addicted to reading books (not only IT-related but also good novels, thrillers and neuroscience/psychology) I do sports and I love spending time in the nature.
