Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

I support SMEs and technical structures in stabilizing and modernizing their internal infrastructures and tools.

With over 15 years of experience in Linux, Python, and automation, I primarily work on existing environments requiring greater reliability, maintainability, and industrialization.

My approach is to progressively improve the existing system without imposing a heavy redesign:

- automation of repetitive tasks,

- takeover of critical scripts,

- modernization of internal tools,

- standardization of deployments,

- implementation of modern development methods.

I have notably worked on:

automation of Linux farms and render farms,
stabilization of aging infrastructures,
development of Python tools for production and system administration,
implementation of support and industrialization processes,
technical supervision of development teams.

Key skills: Python, Linux, automation, SaltStack, Ansible, Git, CI/CD, software packaging, and internal tool development.
