Summary
Alban Vidal is a GNU/Linux consultant based in Paris with nine years of hands-on experience designing and operating resilient infrastructure for large organizations. He progressed through technical and leadership roles at the Gendarmerie Nationale, where he led system administrators, drove SI architecture evolution, managed HA clusters and POC platforms, and built automation for repeatable deployments. Equally comfortable in the shell as in strategic planning, he combines deep open-source tooling knowledge (Debian, Bash, NRPE, SNMP) with practical skills in DNS/Proxy/NTP/DHCP and service orchestration. Now at ORNESS, he focuses on bringing robust, auditable Linux solutions to clients while mentoring teams on integration and best practices. A former mobile gendarme and technician, he brings operational discipline and a problem-solving mindset that surfaces non-obvious improvements to stability and automation.
