Hi,

my name is Daniel Vrátil (dvratil) and I live in Prague, Czech republic. I work at GEN Digital (previously known as Avast Software) as a senior software engineer in a team responsible for various internal and public-facing backends, primarily in C++ and Rust. I also lead a small team of backend developers for a few years, focusing on C++ high performance backends. Previously I worked as a software engineer at KDAB and Red Hat (first as Evolution developer, then moved to work on KDE and Fedora packaging). My CV.

My main interest are my family, open source, free culture, software development, metal music and watching or reading science fiction. And beer - can’t even get a profile picture without one :-)).

I’m a Linux geek, using ArchLinux and Fedora since around 2006. I’ve done some stuff in PHP, Gtk+ (C), C++, Qt and KDE and nowadays in Rust. I maintain various open-source projects, you can find the list of the most prominent ones on the main page, and have contributed to various parts of KDE for years.

You can find me on Mastodon, Twitter, GitHub and LinkedIn and probably elsewhere too :)
