Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolGuillaume Thouvenin is a seasoned systems and kernel-focused software engineer with 11 years of professional experience, currently working on the XAPI toolstack for Xen Orchestra/XCP-ng in Grenoble. His background spans low-level Linux and AIX kernel development, virtualization and cloud platforms (OpenStack/Xen/KVM), and embedded/architecture-specific work such as porting Linux to the KVX CPU and adding MMU/IOMMU and huge page support. He has delivered production-grade features across kernel, hypervisor and cloud layers—ranging from live C library replacement on AIX to GPU support in OpenStack—and has strong test and validation experience with CI automation. Comfortable in C, Python and system tooling, he pairs deep technical craftsmanship with pragmatic deployment knowledge from Puppet/Salt to Jenkins and RobotFramework. An early open-source contributor (ELSA, GASTA) with a taste for terse creativity—his GitHub bio hints at an appreciation for esoteric code—he blends research-grade rigor with hands-on engineering.
