AI and automation,
built on 20 years in IT.

I help companies deploy AI where it actually saves work, and I make sure the whole thing runs securely. From the first consultation to a solution running in production.

01 / About

Who I am

My name is Jozef. I have been in IT for over twenty years, most of them managing server infrastructure and running migration and hardening projects for international companies, remotely and onsite across Europe, North America and Asia.

In recent years I have focused mainly on AI and automation. Not because it is fashionable, but because for the first time I see a technology that can take most of the routine work off a company's plate. My job is to find exactly where it makes sense and get it to the point where it runs on its own.

„Vzdať sa nie je možnosť.“ The motto of this site's first version (in Slovak). Still true.

02 / What I do

What I can help with

AI & automation

I find the processes that eat up the most time in your company and automate them. Agent systems, connecting AI to your existing tools, custom scripts. The goal is not AI at any cost. The goal is less manual work.

Security

I spent years hardening systems for large international companies. Audits, configuration, documentation. And when needed, the uncomfortable questions like “who exactly has access to production?”

Web & infrastructure

I will build a website or a small SaaS from design to deployment, including the server it runs on. Backups, monitoring, automated deploys. Nothing you would have to manage by clicking around.

Scripts & tools for legacy environments

Single-purpose scripts and small tools that keep older environments alive. A script stopped working? Runs too long and needs optimizing? Got a repetitive task a simple GUI would solve? Get in touch.

03 / Projects

What I have worked on

Infrastructure Migrations Hardening

20+ years of IT infrastructure for international companies

Server infrastructure management, migration and hardening projects, remote and onsite with clients across EMEA, North America and Asia-Pacific. The experience everything else on this page is built on.

Web rework SEO foundation Performance

Complete website rework: home wellness and longevity products

The original site was just about fast enough and could be managed, but it took many hours and keeping styles and content consistent was hard. I rebuilt it from scratch: new architecture, speed, an SEO foundation and content management the client handles on their own.

Automation DevOps

A multi-tenant VPS that manages itself

One server, multiple projects. Caddy, Docker Compose and git as the single source of truth. Backups, health checks and the deploy pipeline run automatically, and a new project deploys with a single command. No clicking around an admin panel.

04 / Tools & open-source

Things built along the way

Working with AI produces a pile of small tools and scripts. The ones that can help others too, I publish as open source. The Windows tools were built together with an AI agent. They show what an experienced person and AI can ship quickly and properly, tests and verifiable builds included.

Hardening Checker: Windows security score and a list of findings with fixes

Windows · security · built with AI

Hardening Checker

Checks 26 Windows security settings (SMB, sign-in, Defender, BitLocker, updates…) and gives you a score. Every finding explains why it matters and shows the command to fix it. It changes nothing, it only reads.

Event Triage: findings from Windows event logs sorted by severity with attack details

Windows · security · built with AI

Event Triage

Reads Windows event logs and turns thousands of events into a few clear findings: password guessing, Remote Desktop sign-ins from the internet, new admin accounts, suspicious PowerShell or cleared logs. You can try it safely on a built-in demo attack.

Legacy Auth Finder: accounts and clients that still use NTLMv1, RC4 or DES

Windows · Active Directory · built with AI

Legacy Auth Finder

Scans a whole folder of archived server logs (files over 4 GB included) and finds who still uses NTLMv1, RC4 or DES. You get a list of accounts, clients and services to fix, with search and CSV export. Handy before RC4 is switched off in 2026.

// free mini-courses

Vibe coding courses

Learn to build software with AI, without writing code. Two hands-on courses: Vibecoding with Claude Code (an interactive partner) and Vibecoding with ChatGPT Codex (task delegation). Real replays, exercises, no sign-up.

06 / How I work

How I work

Short iterations and continuous results, no six-month wait for a big reveal. I use AI daily in my own work, so I know what to expect from it and where its limits are.

Everything I hand over is versioned, backed up and reversible. And you will not end up depending on me: every handover includes documentation and procedures so you can run the system yourself.

07 / Working together

How we start working together

Every collaboration starts with an initial consultation. If we then continue with a project, its price is credited back to you.

1. You write to me

A few sentences about what's bothering you or what you'd like to improve are enough. I'll reply within three business days.

2. Initial consultation for €500

We go through your problem in depth and you leave with a concrete recommendation on what's worth tackling and what isn't. It's credited toward the project.

3. Proposal and delivery

You get a clear scope and price. Standard projects cost €2,000 to €8,000, and I work in short steps with results along the way.
