Joyeux matin!

I learn by breaking things at home, so I don't break them anywhere else.

I study computer engineering at Université de Sherbrooke and I'm a developer intern at IBM Bromont. My ground runs from the interface down to the server: full stack web apps, CI/CD pipelines, and the infrastructure that keeps them running.

At home, a single server runs a network split into eleven VLANs, a virtualized firewall and about a dozen services exposed behind a Cloudflare tunnel. It's my proving ground: you learn fast there what classes don't cover.

When I'm not in a terminal, I'm probably in the mountains, on a climbing wall or on my motorcycle.

Status: Student, UdeS
Right now: Intern, IBM Bromont
Based in: Sherbrooke, QC
Ground: Full stack & DevOps

On a ridge above a glacial cirque — Let him block the lands and the waves: the sky, at least, lies open.
Terras licet et undas obstruat, at caelum certe patet.
