Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDag Wieers is a veteran Linux system engineer and owner of Dagit Linux Solutions with over 30 years of experience specializing in RHEL, CentOS and Open Source infrastructure. He combines deep hands-on skills in unattended deployments, packaging, troubleshooting and automation (Ansible, Python, shell, Perl) with a track record of improving production tooling and disaster-recovery workflows. A recognized contributor to Ansible core and modules—as well as projects like Relax-and-Recover and RepoForge—he focuses on pragmatic, well-documented solutions that emphasize idempotency, compatibility and maintainability. Comfortable as a freelance consultant across Europe, he routinely bridges system architecture and operational automation for large enterprises and critical services. Less obvious: he’s one of Belgium’s early Linux pioneers who still spends time refining test environments and code quality (tox, pylint, flake8) for open-source projects.
