Experience
- itprojectDeployment of a dedicated server architecture for a logistics and transport platformTRANSPORTATIONFebruary 2026 - February 2026Paris, FranceImplementation of a secure mini-infrastructure for a logistics and transport business.Initially, the business operated with few structured tools: scattered tracking, manual exchanges, absence of a truly thought-out IT environment to support the organization.The objective was not simply to install software, but to create a reliable technical foundation for centralizing operations, securing access, isolating services, and planning for the future addition of other tools without starting from scratch.I designed a mini-infrastructure on a French OVHcloud dedicated server with a production environment logic:virtualization via Proxmox VE to separate services,network segmentation with pfSense,dedicated subnets according to usage,secure reverse proxy with Nginx Proxy Manager,HTTPS publication with SSL certificates,control of inbound access.On the application side, deployment of Fleetbase to structure business management: activity tracking, driver organization, database, professional emails, and own DNS.The choice of open-source tools helped limit costs, maintain data governance, and avoid dependency on external solutions.Result: The client now has a secure, scalable environment with a truly professional foundation capable of hosting other business tools (DMS, automation, monitoring, etc.).The mission was completed with tool training and documentation to ensure autonomous onboarding.
- itprojectWordPress Optimization: Booking, Email Deliverability, and Functional StabilityHEALTH AND WELLNESSJanuary 2026 - January 2026Paris, FranceReliability of a WordPress site: booking, notifications, and email deliverability.The client used a WordPress site for part of their business but encountered several functional blockages: unstable bookings, unreceived notifications, and lack of reliability in automated exchanges.The problem stemmed from several cumulative layers: incomplete SMTP configuration, irregular behavior of the Amelia booking plugin, and absence of a truly adapted server configuration.The intervention consisted of taking over the complete operation of the service:analysis of booking errors,correction of plugin parameters,secure SMTP configuration,reliability of transactional email sending,Nginx / PHP server adaptation to stabilize application behavior,deliverability check (SPF, DKIM, DNS).The goal was not just to fix a bug but to make the user experience reliable: when a client books or an action is triggered, the information must arrive correctly without manual intervention.Result: The site now functions as a true operational tool, with smooth bookings, reliable automatic notifications, and a better professional image for the end client.This fix was part of a broader strategy: having a coherent, secure environment capable of supporting real-world usage without hidden fragility.
