I specialize in advancing the IT infrastructure of companies, adopting AI and transforming outdated systems into cutting-edge, market-leading technology solutions
My journey in IT began with a desire to improve the existing technologies and to create better, more efficient systems for both personal and professional use.
Since 2009, I have been crafting custom solutions, leveraging my expertise in various programming languages.
For every challenge, I carefully select the most appropriate language to ensure optimal performance and efficiency.
I find fulfillment in developing software that not only addresses the needs of others but also makes their work processes smoother and more productive.
To me, software development goes beyond programming.
It starts with a deep understanding of the client’s needs and the specific problem that needs to be solved.
Once the requirements are clear, I design a tailored solution and create a precise project scope.
After implementation, I ensure the seamless operation and maintenance of the servers supporting the application.
I am always looking for innovative ways to enhance workflows, and I take pride in providing thorough documentation to support long-term system success.
AI is a regular part of my work. I develop with AI tools (Cursor, Claude Code), which lets me deliver faster, while I always review the result and stay responsible for its quality.
I also connect client applications to AI (language model APIs) – from automating routine work with texts and documents, through chatbots, to data evaluation.
And I advise where AI makes sense and where it does not, including what to watch out for in terms of security and protection of company data.
Where I provide my services: in person in Jilemnice, in Prague (I have a base there, so I can commute to the client's office) and anywhere in the Czech Republic.
Since I normally work remotely, I also work with clients from all over Europe and from other countries.
E-mail, chat, phone and video conferencing work regardless of the distance, so location is not an obstacle.
If you need to solve an IT problem or get some advice, do not hesitate to
contact me.
If you need
to program an application in the PHP framework Nette or Symfony, that runs on your own server, then you are my typical customer.
You can expect these advantages
I combine the theoretical foundation gained from my studies in Information Technology at ČVUT with extensive practical experience.
I approach each challenge with a focus on uncovering its core issues, ensuring that I fully understand the problems at hand.
I take a personalized approach with each client, tailoring solutions and development strategies to achieve the best possible results.
The software I recommend is not only something I know well as a programmer, but also as a user.
This dual perspective allows me to offer practical, well-rounded advice.
For example, I use Linux on my personal desktop and run the same applications on my client servers.
This hands-on experience enables me to provide detailed explanations of system functions, identify potential issues,
and offer proactive solutions to mitigate them.
While I value direct, ongoing consultations, I am also accustomed to using electronic communication methods such as email,
chat (WhatsApp), phone calls, VoIP, and
video conferencing for effective and efficient collaboration.
You are not limited by location. We can meet in person in Jilemnice, in Prague (I have a base there) or anywhere in the Czech Republic.
Since I normally work remotely, I can just as well cooperate with clients from all over Europe and from other countries.
I work in the Europe/Prague or Asia time zone.
Once I’ve gathered all necessary information and documentation,
I work autonomously, saving you time and reducing the need for additional management.
I am able to quickly familiarize myself with third-party source code, which allows me to add value immediately upon starting a project.
I work with AI and use it where it genuinely saves time – during development (Cursor, Claude Code), when analysing third-party code, and when processing texts and data.
Thanks to that I find my way around a large application faster and deliver changes sooner.
However, I do not let AI decide for me: I review every output and take the same responsibility for it as if it had been written without AI.
I help clients bring AI into their own applications and processes – integration with language model APIs,
automation of routine agenda, document processing, chatbots over company data.
I always start by looking for the places where AI brings measurable benefit, and I also point out where a classic solution is cheaper and more reliable.
Part of the design is deciding what data is sent to the AI and how to protect it.
Writing thorough documentation is a standard part of my process.
I believe that a project needs proper maintenance, and documentation is essential for the successful future implementation of any changes or requirements.
I prioritize security and approach it with a proactive mindset, ensuring that both customer and personal data are protected.
For instance, I encrypt the disk on my laptop, and I address any security concerns promptly to mitigate potential risks.
If you're interested in collaborating, I can walk you through the process and outline how we can best work together to meet your objectives.
How to start cooperation and how I work.

I worked with Josef on a small project and I'm very glad with the solutions he delivered. Josef is an expert developer with a reliable knowledge and deep understanding of web technologies.
Bc. Josef Jebavý is a great programmer. We are creating together a brand new (quite complex) application for production planning in my company. We have been working together for several months and I can rate his work as fully professional. He works systematically, carefully, pays attention to the smallest detail. He tries his best to meet my requirements, he does not impose his solutions. He brings his own suggestions to the project. He always finds a solution, it has never happened to me that he was not able to meet my request. What I appreciate the most is that he fulfills in time what we agreed on in advance. The application is created without any time delays. Great cooperation, I highly recommend!
Seamless communication, managed to quickly get into a large-scale project. I recommend.
We cooperated with Mr. Jebavý on the installation of mail and web server in our company, which deals marginally with the provision of web hosting (technology: Linux, ISP Config, Proxmox). Everything was always by appointment and based on reliable communication. I can recommend.
An excellent computer programmer, though a bit expensive. He managed to master the project which other programmers from the portal Na volné noze (Self Employed) refused to do as too difficult. Good communication, excellent cooperation, lots of ideas using his own initiatives and also recommendations for the future development. An interesting publishing work in mainly challenging topics in the IT sector. Wide knowledge of both web issues and internet servers. Definitely potential for a long term cooperation in development of challenging projects. I recommend to look at his YouTube channel. A keen cyclist, nature lover and a very likable guy. I like his lifestyle which connects the distance working with travelling and sports. This way, in this dynamic environment, one can keep fresh mind with a proactive and creative attitude.
Mr. Jebavý took over our complicated project running at full speed and he mastered it with maximum professionalism. I would like to thank him this way and at the same time I would like to recommend Mr. Jebavý to everyone else who thinks about the use of his services.
During the breakdown of our Linux server we turned to Mr. Jebavý with the request for help. Because the breakdown was at the worst time possible, right in the middle of the season and, what is more, at the weekend, the help was urgently needed. Mr. Jebavý answered our call for help immediately with his offer and on Sunday morning the fault on the server was fixed. I can recommend Mr. Jebavý for his speedy and efficient work.
I am very satisfied with the service offered. I have changed several firms before I found the right one. The long-term cooperation in e-marketing field.
Thank you very much for the obliging and generous attitude, speed and professionalism. The installation of the server was according to my expectation including the necessary setting so that I could administer the server with the help of ISPconfig. The carried-out task: installation of Linux Debian 9.0 at the server HPE ProLiant DL320e, Intel Xeon 1231 (3,4 Ghz) 4C/9T 8MB, 32 GB DDR3 ECC 1600 Mhz installation and configuration: Apache, PHP, Mysql, mailserver, DNS server, ISPConfig. Everything including the final handover was perfect and therefore I can recommend this professional. I am looking forward to further cooperation.
Our firm Sievert Consulting s.r.o. has a long-term partnership with Mr. Jebavý, who looks after the administration and maintenance of all hardware parts of our application which serves for the administration and maintenance of the property SW KLID. We can only recommend the cooperation with Mr. Jebavý to those who want to have stress-free business and want to concentrate on their business without loosing time with server administrators. We look forward to many other years of cooperation.
In establishing my public notary office I needed to solve the problem of building up a small computer network with a small server, data sharing, distant access to data and their security and storing. The cooperation with Josef Jebavy was professional, fast and practical. Everything works and is still working according my expectations. Josef designed the server according to my needs — he installed a smart device having small consumption including the data storing at the second small device. I can only recommend him.
I am completely satisfied with our long-term cooperation. He solved the complete deployment of Docker for our integration platform. Thanks to which we are able to automatically scale our solutions and thus serve dozens of clients without any delays or outages. If you need help, advice, or directly looking for a person who would deploy the solution, I recommend it!
I needed help and consulting a development environment solution using docker technology. I contacted Mr. Josef Jebavý because I had omly little experience with it. After one morning, I was able to prepare other things myself and helped me compare concepts in my head and how to approach technology. It helped me a lot. I recommend.
I know Josef from several technology conferences (Openalt, Linuxdays), where he has interesting lectures on Linux, server administration, backed technologies in general, hardware or various interesting things, such as video editing. As a fullstack developer with more frontend expertise, I'm often interested in his expertise in technology. Last time, it helped me a lot in solving problems with Apache, a large number of WebSocket connections and the subsequent transition to NGINX.
Excellent and fast work on the completion of our project on the portal www.maniny.cz. I recommend Mr. Jebavý to everyone who is looking for a professional approach and solid behavior.
Great job as always! Fast and excellent programmer with a lot of knowledge. He was able to complete the project assignment in a short time. What more to say? Best of all, the quality matches the price. If you need help, advice, or you are looking for a person in IT who would quickly and efficiently advise you and deploy a solution, I recommend it! What others don't know, Mr. Jebavý knows and knows! I can only recommend Mr. Jebavý for fast and quality work, as well as his excellent data backup service snapbackuper.com We look forward to the next years of mutual cooperation! Professional approach and solid dealings at 1000%.
Mr. Josef and I were solving a problem with a slow VPS that we didn't know how to handle ourselves. After just one consultation, he helped us significantly optimize performance. A great expert, I definitely recommend him.

Pepa is a reliable IT specialist and consultant with extensive experience in the field. He has the greatest experience in the field of DevOps, where he also shares his knowledge through educational content on various platforms. He also has strong experience with Linux operating systems. At the same time, it is necessary to emphasize his overlap in the field of software development. I had the opportunity to collaborate with Pepa on a project where he demonstrated clear abilities and prerequisites for quality development. I appreciate that he is actively interested in modern technologies and at the same time enjoys their theoretical side.
Pepa explained to me many business aspects of freelancing, and how he helps clients mainly in business, and only to a lesser extent technically. Even though Pepa is an extraordinary personality, it has no effect on his knowledge of technology, his activity and action, don't be afraid to work with him just because he is not politically correct and is not afraid to say things directly, on the contrary, it will speed up a lot of things.
Mr. Jebavý prepared the servers and deployed the application that we implemented for the client. The cooperation was excellent, Mr. Jebavý set everything up as needed and was helpful in everything that was needed. The application servers are now running smoothly.
Josef took care of the servers of the web application in Nette, which I programmed. He handled all configuration modification requests very quickly and in ways that would not limit the users of the application. His rich experience in managing Linux servers is suitable for the smooth running of any web application. He can also suggest process changes that speed up the deployment of code modifications to servers, for example.
Josef and I had the opportunity to work in the same company. He has always been actively interested in the issue of managing Linux servers, and has always tried to come up with a solution that would bring some benefits and simplification of work to the company and the customer. As an administrator of Linux servers, I can highly recommend him.
