About
I'm a Linux fanatic living and working in the french alps. I have grown up in Australia and in France where I have worked for an Animation studio, an Open Source consulting firm and an Emailing company. I really enjoy working in diverse teams and cloud platforms.
Work Experience
Site Reliability Engineer
As part of the SRE team at mailjet I have had the joy to work with data on a new scale with a multi-continent team I loved. My day to day duties were to build and industrialize the monitoring, metrology, deployment, backups and maintenance for our databases. I started working at the Paris office but for the past three years I have been working remotely
Highlights
- Physical to Cloud migration for the infrastructure, with a strong emphasis on industrialisation via Ansible and resilience
- Contributed to the design of the new data model, moving away from PostgreSQL alone and using Cassandra, PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka and Spark
- Managed the scaling (horizontal and vertical) of our growing Kafka and Cassandra clusters
- Splitting our cassandra keyspaces into different clusters
Linux System Administrator
At Smile I was tasked with a range of duties such as load testing web infrastructures, conducting audits to detect bad practices or performance issues, automating the deployment of high-availablity infrastructures, and training clients in the basics of LAMP, linux Administration.
Highlights

- Taught courses about Linux and Open Source Software to The French Ministry of Education in Versailles

System Administrator Trainee
During my internships at the Studio Redfrog I was often the sole 'IT Guy', merging the responsabilities of a System and Network Administrator; and Tech Support for the artistic teams. I had the chance to work on two seasons of 'The Garfield Show' and one season of 'Quiz de Zack'.
Highlights
