Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlexis La Goutte is a networks and security consultant based in Nantes with 15 years’ experience designing, auditing and deploying LAN/WAN/WiFi, firewall, VPN, WAF and micro-segmentation solutions for multi-site and cloud migrations. At Cheops he combines hands-on implementations (NSX-T, Aruba, Fortinet, Palo Alto, ClearPass) with project management, customer change support and automation using Ansible, Terraform and PowerShell modules like PowerAruba and psNSXT. He is also a long-standing Wireshark core developer active on TLS1.3 and QUIC, contributing deep packet-inspection expertise that informs his protocol-level troubleshooting and forensic audits. His open-source work on QUIC/HTTP2 projects (ngtcp2, nghttp2, picoquic, spdylay) shows a strong focus on C/C++ robustness, build systems and CI tooling, often fixing subtle memory and build issues. Colleagues value his ability to translate complex protocol internals into practical network designs and reusable automation. An interesting detail: he blends low-level protocol development with enterprise security operations, enabling rare cross-domain insight from packet dissectors to production Kubernetes network policies.
