Computer/IT

I have been working in the IT world for years, and offer various support and engineering services in the following areas:

  • Linux system engineering: the core of my activity, from small 1-node infrastructure... to setting up whole datacenters and private clouds.
  • Software development: I develop various tools next to operation-work (making me 'DevOps'). I've worked on low-level system tools (configuration management/ deployments, monitoring, integrations) as well as on web services/'applications'.
  • Generic support: I provide generic hardware, network and Linux/ MacOs/Windows support from time to time (mostly through Soz-IT).
  • Website, Mail, Hosting: I setup websites (usually based on Wordpress or Yellow) from time to time, and offer simple web and mail hosting for small-scale usage.

I am registered as independent (CHE-450.894.425) in Switzerland, and am reachable at work@tfloure.ch for anything having to do with IT.

I am active in various open-source projects such as the cdi.st configuration management tool and the Fedora Linux distribution).

Computer skills

That's the kind of text you find in (my) resume. It's not relevant for everyone...

I am a Linux system administrator/engineer with experience ranging from small hand-managed infrastructures to large environments and datacenter building blocks. I can build a physical cloud from the ground up (hard- ware, networking, storage, virtualization, containers, configuration-management, monitoring, security topics and mail/web/directory services).

I regularly take up software development and integration tasks alongside standard operation work. I am familiar with the functional, object-oriented and system programming paradigms, as well as with web technologies. I mostly use the Elixir, Shell and Ruby programming languages for my own projects, but have already worked with significant Python, Java/Scala, Perl, golang and C codebases.

Working and exchanging with less technical users is a plus for me - I enjoy explaining, and working with people brings sense to my work. I’ve done so through work, open-source projects and local free-software groups.
