· Based in FranceAbout
I'm a passionate Infrastructure Specialist and Network Engineer (Student) based in France. I build and maintain enterprise-grade server infrastructure, design scalable systems, and manage complex networking environments.
From containerization with Docker and Kubernetes to advanced BGP routing and virtualization platforms, I work across the full infrastructure stack. Pandem Network operates enterprise servers including Lenovo System x3950 X6, Dell PowerEdge series, and custom builds, providing hosting services to customers from France.
I'm always exploring new technologies — from contributing to open source to pushing the boundaries of what's possible with self-hosted infrastructure.
