Top SchoolJean-françois Roche is a DevOps engineer with 17 years’ experience helping public and private organisations adopt automation and DevOps practices, currently working with Nix/NixOS at Numtide and running Affinitic Sprl. He blends hands-on infrastructure work with open-source contributions—improving Puppet Docker modules and adding secure client-certificate authentication and ingest pipeline support to a Terraform Elasticsearch provider—demonstrating attention to reliability, cross-OS configuration, and security. A Master’s in Computer Science from ULB, he favors pragmatic automation (“if it hurts, do it more often”) and consistently ships small, test-backed improvements such as acceptance tests and service-management fixes. Known for pushing for repeatable, auditable deployments, he often tackles the fiddly edge cases that break automation in production.
