Summary
Ugo Bellavance is an Infrastructure and Security Architect with over 20 years of hands-on experience managing Linux-heavy server estates, networks, and security controls across on-prem and cloud environments. He combines deep operational expertise—managing RHEL production servers, firewalls, WAFs, SANs, backups and DBAs—with practical automation and IaC experience, and now leads cloud design, security baselines, and a small expert team. Comfortable in incident response and process documentation, he also supervises end-user cybersecurity training and drives continuous improvement through workflow analysis and R&D. A former business owner and long-time systems generalist, he pairs strong communication and teaching skills with a relentless appetite to learn new tooling and migrate toward DevOps/SRE roles focused on Linux. Notably, he has maintained enterprise monitoring, ticketing, GitLab CI, and virtualization platforms while evolving to infrastructure-as-code and security architecture at Attestra. Based in Montreal, he brings a rare blend of operational depth, people leadership, and practical security engineering.
