About Vincent

With over 15 years of experience, I have seen a lot. This experience allows me to quickly adapt to new environments and to accurately assess what works and what doesn't (or could be improved). My background is in Linux and open source, and that knowledge is still useful in the "Cloud Native" world where I have been immersed for the last approximately 8 years.
