Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDennis De Best is a back-end developer and DevOps consultant with a decade of experience building and operationalizing PHP/Symfony systems into containerized, production-grade platforms. As co-founder of Codebuds and a current consultant at umake, he has a proven track record of designing self-hosted Kubernetes (K3s) clusters, automating deployments with Helm and GitLab/Bitbucket CI, and shrinking developer onboarding times from hours to minutes. He blends hands-on PHP expertise (including contributing a PHP8 prime sieve implementation in open-source projects) with infrastructure skills in Ansible, Terraform, Docker, and AWS to break up monoliths and stabilize high-traffic services. A pragmatic mentor and former managing partner, he trains junior engineers, runs client discovery to align business goals with technical roadmaps, and taught Linux and database courses at the master’s level. Based in Bordeaux, he favors pragmatic, reproducible tooling—Traefik often appears in his Linux stacks—and focuses on delivering reliable, scalable systems that teams can own.
