Welcome

This is my personal website.

It is composed of two main parts: my blog and my notes. The second part is like a wiki that is mainly there so I can google myself problems I had in the past.

You might be interresting to directly jump to the planet-inuits tag, which contains the more technical articles. Articles not in this tag are mainly opinions or very short articles.

Inuits

The opinions and views expressed on this site do not reflect my employer’s views. I am working at Inuits, a large open-source consultancy company based in Belgium.

O11y

I co-founded O11y - pronounced “olly”. We provide Profesionnal services and support for Prometheus.
