Born in the late 1980′s with the advent of the Connected Generation, I’m a System and Network Engineer and also a long time Piano Virtuoso.

My firsts computers where a Macintosh SE/30 under System 6.0, and an Intel 486-DX under MS-Dos 5. Got my first serious machine at 9 years old, which was an x86 Cyrix M-II under Windows 98. As year 2000 came, my first contact with the Unix world did too, along with a fresh installation of Debian Slink, then Potato. I’ve never moved from the Unix world since then and I’m now an avid supporter and contributor of Open Source technologies.

I’m mastering a lot of aspect of computing in general, with an heavy specialisation on Low/System-level and Networking. My skills are clearly focused on System problems and High performances architectures but still I’m good at high level programming and modelisation along with Web programming for complex Business Applications.

Former student and employee of Valeo Vision, I learned there the necessary logic and discipline of complex IT Projects Management.

I’m currently working as System Engineer and Solution Architect at Hegerys/MagicOnline

Hegerys is an IT Hosting company based in France and acting as a Pure Player on Managed Hosting and complex Managed Business Infrastructures.

Most common works for me at Hegerys are :

• High Availability and Integrity architectures
• High Performances Systems for complex Business or Web applications
• Complex clustering and scalability issues
• Implementation and programming of gateways between System and Web
• WebServices / API programming

As an example of such issues, I’ll suggest you to read my paper about Getting a WordPress performance from 5 to 6000 request/second on a single low-end Machine.
