Summary
Joachim La Poutré is a seasoned Senior Engineer based in The Hague with over a decade of hands-on experience across Unix/Linux systems, virtualization, storage and cloud migrations. He has deep expertise in performance tuning, configuration management and automation (Puppet, Ansible, PXE/Kickstart), and a long track record running complex production services like mail, monitoring and backup across Linux, BSD, Solaris and AIX. Joachim has transitioned from classic server workloads to private and public cloud architectures while retaining strong low-level operational skills—often combining storage technologies (ZFS, DRBD, Gluster) with KVM, Xen and VMware virtualization. His background includes senior roles at government and large enterprise organisations, where he balanced security/compliance and ITIL processes with pragmatic engineering. A practical troubleshooter and generalist, he’s equally comfortable crafting shell scripts and designing resilient, clustered infrastructure.
