About Aniss

Platform & Infrastructure Engineer specializing in managed hosting, automation, and the PIM ecosystem. I assist software publishers and companies in designing, migrating, and operating reliable and secure Linux production environments.
Daily, I manage 40+ Ubuntu server farms on a Proxmox cluster (OVH), adhering to a strict isolation model per client. My expertise includes architecture and high availability, server hardening (UFW, Fail2ban, SSH, PHP/Apache tuning), monitoring (Zabbix), and robust backup strategies (3-2-1, WireGuard, Elasticsearch snapshots, tested restores).
I automate everything that can be automated: data import pipelines (Bash/Python), scheduled jobs with alerting, provisioning and deployment scripts, structured logging. Constant goal: industrialize operations and reduce recurring workload.
Finally, I have rare expertise in the Akeneo PIM and Pim2catalog ecosystem: complete installations and migrations (up to v2026.3), EasyCatalog/InDesign integration, catalog publication automation, and API connections to PIM/DAM systems.
Rigorous, autonomous, and results-oriented, I commit to clear deliverables and a production environment you can forget, because it runs.
