Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatthieu Patou is a Site Reliability Engineer with 16+ years of hands-on experience and over 20 years across software development, DevOps, networking and SRE roles, now based in Sunnyvale. He blends deep production-operational expertise with a strong track record contributing to and upstreaming complex open-source projects (notably Samba and FFmpeg) while integrating them into large-scale products like SDN, NAC and Facebook Live. At Meta he spearheaded vulnerability management and cross-company upgrades (OpenSSH, Kerberos, FFmpeg), turning risky, heavily patched stacks into maintainable flows that saved thousands of servers. He’s equally comfortable writing protocols and performance improvements for Samba AD/DFSR as he is automating deployments and shard-aware configuration in Chef cookbooks. A proven team builder and mentor, Matthieu accelerates junior engineers and leaves teams with repeatable processes for continuous upgrades and reliability.

Contributions summary:Matthieu primarily focused on modifying the `fb_cron` cookbook within the `chef-cookbooks` repository. Their work involved controlling the creation of `/etc/cron.deny` and `/etc/cron.allow` files, managing their content, and integrating these files with a chef recipe. The user also introduced shard-based logic, enabling the controlled deployment of these cron-related configurations across different server shards. These changes demonstrate a focus on configuration management and automated deployment.
