About Me

First a Web Developer, then a Cloud Architect and SRE, I like to play with infrastructure and automation arround web applications.

Curious, I was very interested in the world of video and video encoding. So I was part of some Fansub team and I was transcoding files in AVC/x264 then HEVC.

I also follow a lot of Android news, and I could contribute in the past to some open source projects like alternative firmwares for old Android devices. I have built some custom recoveries, and contribute to some great projects like CyanogenMod, Lineage OS, AOKP, etc.

I'm also a fan of Japanese animation and manga movies. And I cook sometimes good food when I have free time on Sunday.
