15+
16+
Welcome, I'm **Patrik** (or sometimes **[Sh4d1](https://github.com/Sh4d1)**), and living in Paris!
17+
18+
I'm a long time Linux user (I use arch btw), that loves to build, and operates systems, especially distributed ones.
19+
20+
I was born in Stockholm in 1994, grew up in the french alps,
21+
graduated from _[Ensimag](https://ensimag.grenoble-inp.fr/)_ in early 2018, where among others things, I wrote a compiler in Java, a processor in VHDL, and a kernel in C.
22+
23+
I'm native in french, and fluent in english, while trying to keep my swedish up to the level.
24+
25+
### Scaleway
26+
27+
#### Kubernetes
28+
29+
I then moved to Paris and joined _[Scaleway](https://scaleway.com)_ as a DevOps engineer on
30+
_[Kapsule](https://www.scaleway.com/en/kubernetes-kapsule/)_, the managed Kubernetes solution in early 2019.
31+
The next 2.5 years were spent building from the ground up a Kubernetes distribution.
32+
I even made a *[webinar](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTV_whRZG58)* explaining how it all works under the hood (though a lot have changed since, for the best).
33+
34+
It taught me a lot about building systems, Kubernetes, containers, automation, configuration management, Golang, good practices, ...
35+
36+
Let's say I learned a lot these first years, and I loved it!
37+
It also started an unavoidable love/hate relationship with Kubernetes.
38+
39+
#### S3
40+
41+
The opportunity to join the object storage's Site Reliability Engineer team presented itself in fall 2021, which I took.
42+
That brought me to spend the next 2.5 years building (in C) and running a globally distributed key/value database, _[Hive](https://papers.s3.fr-par.scw.cloud/hive.pdf)_,
43+
meant to store the metadata of all S3 object, while contribuing to _[libfloat](https://git.sr.ht/~ne02ptzero/libfloat)_,
44+
a C raft implementation, by my colleague and friend **[Louis](https://ne02ptzero.me/)**.
45+
46+
On top of that, I learned a lot about bare metal environment (PXE, networking, storage, ...) with deployments of thousands of servers, across multiple regions,
47+
while also taking ownership and scaling the monitoring stack (elasticsearch, vector, prometheus/victoriametrics, grafana).
48+
49+
50+
## Present
51+
52+
### amo
53+
54+
I left Scaleway in march 2024, to join a new adventure as SRE at **[amo](https://amo.co/about)**.
55+
56+
The tables have turned, as I'm now on the other side of the spectrum, using a cloud provider, instead of building for one.
57+
There are a lot of new things to learn, and to discover! To be continued...
