Top SchoolPierre Pomes is a DevOps Team Leader and senior software engineer with 16+ years building high-availability Linux/Unix systems for the travel industry.

A hands-on C and Java developer with deep networking and performance-analysis chops, he has implemented TCP/IP client/server travel integrations and contributed to the widely used pfSense firewall project to enhance OpenVPN and PF features. Based in Montreal, he combines low-level systems expertise (AIX, lex/yacc, memory tools) with modern DevOps practices like Consul and Nomad, making him comfortable from kernel-level debugging to orchestration. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic architecture decisions that balance uptime, security (PCI-DSS aware), and operational simplicity.
