About Kévin

System engineer for over three years specializing in Linux and FreeBSD systems. I assist SMEs, technical collectives, alternative hosting providers, start-ups, and sovereign projects in the design, deployment, and security of their infrastructures.
I help you choose solutions that align with your performance, resilience, and data protection challenges.

I primarily work on:
Linux (Debian, Alma, Rocky) & FreeBSD: stable, minimalist, and hardened servers
Ansible & Python: to automate your deployments or maintain your systems cleanly,
Prometheus & Grafana: to provide you with modern, reliable, and readable monitoring,
MySQL, GlusterFS: replication, high availability,
Setting up self-hosted services: mail, Nextcloud, web hosting, VPN…
Containerization with Docker, Docker Compose, and Swarm

I also handle server migrations or the creation of infrastructures "from scratch", with or without containers (Docker).
