Antoine Dumont is a senior software engineer and devops specialist with 15 years of experience building and operating systems across GNU/Linux, cloud platforms (AWS, GCE, Azure) and CI/CD environments. Trained at Université Denis Diderot, he has a strong functional-programming bent—actively working in Clojure and Haskell—and contributes to notable open-source projects like PureScript and Emacs el-get. His polyglot toolset spans low-level Unix tooling, Emacs automation, Puppet, Vagrant, NoSQL/Hadoop stacks and web technologies, enabling him to bridge developer ergonomics and reliable production infrastructure. Known for rigorous testing practices (TDD/ATDD) and a pragmatic, curious approach, he pairs deep technical craftsmanship with a long-running commitment to free software. An interesting quirk: he combines an emacs-centric workflow with hands-on cloud engineering, making editor-driven automation part of his ops toolkit.
