About

Automating infrastructure, one playbook at a time

I'm a Linux engineer who has spent more than a decade building and running production infrastructure. After three years as a system administrator on the Grid'5000 research testbed at INRIA, I joined Crédit Mutuel (Euro-Information) in 2017 as a Linux System Engineer, and I have been leading the Linux team since 2023.

I like to script most things in Python and I'm a strong advocate of Infrastructure as Code: reproducible, reviewable and secure-by-default systems.
