Luděk Kvapil

Backend developer and cybersecurity enthusiast

My main work is Drupal development. My passions are cybersecurity and AI. I have been educated in biology, sociology, adult education, and psychology. I never studied IT in a formal school, but I am a big fan of self-education. Information is publicly available today. I am not a talented star; I am only a guy with long perseverance and discipline. What I do and who I am isn't the result of schools but of my curiosity and lifelong learning.

I am the creator and maintainer of Drupal modules. I have developed solutions for importing images from photostocks to Drupal, as well as several AI API connectors for Drupal.
