Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolWilliam Gathoye is a DevSecOps founder and consultant with 14 years of hands-on experience building secure, self-hosted IT infrastructure for European SMEs. He combines deep expertise in automation (Terraform, CI/CD), DNS and email hardening (DNSSEC, DANE, MTA-STS, SPF/DKIM/DMARC), and sovereign cloud integrations to help organizations exit vendor-locked stacks. At WGET.tech he delivers pragmatic FOSS stacks—Proxmox, OPNsense, Nextcloud, Odoo—while his past roles span SRE, PKI lifecycle work, and performance tuning that cut site response times from >10s to <1s. An active open-source maintainer, he contributes to Chocolatey packages and Mattermost UI improvements, and has long been embedded in the Arch and LibreOffice communities. Notably, he architects lightweight, IPv6-first monitoring and migration strategies that replace resource-heavy legacy tooling, reducing attack surface and operational overhead. Based in Liège, he pairs technical rigor with a clear mission: digital sovereignty through practical, auditable infrastructure.
