Top SchoolDidier Raboud is a seasoned systems architect and DevOps engineer with 15+ years of experience building and hardening backend infrastructure, currently leading architecture and operations at Poto after a long tenure as Systems Architect at Liip. A Debian Developer since 2010 and former Debian Technical Committee member, he blends deep Linux packaging and DNS/domain expertise with practical backend development—evidenced by contributions to the widely used Moodle platform around authentication, security and ClamAV integration. Trained at EPFL in signal processing, he brings academic rigor to pragmatic system design and has a knack for untangling integration issues across authentication, localization and deployment layers. Known as a “Moodle Wizard,” he combines volunteer leadership and internationalization work on open-source projects with commercial delivery, making him equally at home in community governance and production-grade ops.
