About

Me in 10 bullet points or so

• french living in France
• I am a site reliability engineer, doing my best to keep systems performant & reliable
• Humility even if sometimes is probably too much
• I love to be out of my comfort zone and learn new things
• I am used to drinking coffee to keep me awake (kids…)

Human languages

My mother tongue is french. I read and write english fluently. Top B2 level.

Software preferences

Tools

I try to use small tools, that follow the KISS principles.
I run OpenBSD on my personal desktop, Arch Linux on my professional laptop and my server runs on FreeBSD ; diversity, you know this word?
I use i3 as a windows manager… it’s stupid simple and do the job, the further the mouse from my hand is the better I am.
I fall in love with the zsh shell with tmux to keep my shells organized.
I use nvim to edit anything that contains characters.
I use mutt for my mails and irssi for chatting on IRC.

Languages

Go and C are my preferred languages. With that you can conquere the world.

NOTE: Currently, learning Zig.
