Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

Hello! I have been an AIX system engineer for 23 years, and a freelancer for 13 years, in the Paris region.

Passionate, curious, fond of new technologies, comfortable with Linux, I continue to monitor everything that is done in the open world. Especially everything related to virtualization and DevOps, and how old ecosystems like AIX can integrate into this fundamental IT movement.
