Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHaïkel Guémar is a senior software engineer with 11+ years building cloud, virtualization and open-source infrastructure, currently extending Red Hat’s distributed CI and leading RPM packaging work for OpenStack. He combines deep systems programming in modern C++ and C with Python and UX work (Qt/Gtk+/wxWidgets), plus strong industrialization experience in build systems and CI. A longtime Fedora and CentOS contributor and former Fedora board/technical committee member, he blends community leadership with hands-on maintenance of cloud distributions and packaging. He also coaches Agile and Software Craftsmanship practices, founded the Lyon Coding Dojo, and frequently speaks at major OSS conferences. Less obvious: he moves fluidly between low-level virtualization internals (KVM/libvirt, LXC/OpenVZ) and high-level cloud automation (AWS/OpenStack), making him effective across the full stack of cloud delivery.
