About me

Hi, I’m Antoine. Most of my projects start the same way: “There has to be a better way to do this.”

I’m a software developer with a background in IT and systems administration. I started out administering Windows and Linux servers, moved into software development, and kept gravitating toward the same kind of work: automation, internal tools, and the systems that software runs on.

The work I enjoy most sits where software development meets infrastructure: Linux, CI/CD, automation, and developer tooling.
