My journey this year

In under two months, I went from the scripts and configs of a sysadmin to team projects and working applications. My background in IT systems and networks gave me a strong foundation to learn fast and apply new skills immediately.

Where I started, where I am

Front-end

From no web pages at all to a responsive, accessible multi-page site and a working job board interface.Job boardThis portfolio

Back-end / APIs

I designed a relational database with per-user encryption, a PHP API, and the Node.js API behind the Lab page.Job boardThis portfolio

Linux & networking

Already my job before Epitech; this year I went further with LoRaWAN, Zero Trust access, a public API exposed safely, and a default-deny firewall in front of Docker.LoRa sensor gridHomelab/e/OS port for the Galaxy A56

DevOps / CI

My projects now deploy in one command with Docker Compose, and this site publishes itself with GitHub Actions on every push.Job boardThis portfolio

Team work

I built the job board as a pair, sharing one repo and one schema; the Java game engine, starting in November, is next.Job board

Timeline

  1. September 2026

    Started the Pré-MSc at Epitech Montpellier

    Back to school after four years in the field. The Python pool was a fast reset: a new subject every day and automated grading every evening.

  2. September 2026

    My own Android build boots on the Galaxy A56

    After a failed first boot that relocked the bootloader, my own /e/OS build reached the lock screen, with touch, sound, ADB and Wi-Fi working.

  3. October 2026

    Calls and SMS working on my /e/OS port

    With the open-source PhhIms stack, the port can call, text and use 4G: it’s now usable as a daily phone.

  4. October 2026

    Job board with Léa Bossuat

    First team project of the year: a database designed for GDPR from the start, and a stack that deploys in one command.

    Hardening my homelab after the move

    The new ISP box after my move gave the server a public IPv6 address, and a setup designed behind IPv4 NAT suddenly exposed its Docker services. I caught it while bringing the homelab back, then rebuilt it so it no longer relies on NAT: a default-deny nftables firewall and everything behind the reverse proxy, down to a single TLS port. I learned to test exposure from outside every time the network changes.

  6. October 2026

    Portfolio and live Lab page online

    The site went live with its Lab page, fed by the monitoring stack and API running on my homelab.

  7. Upcoming

    Java game engine project

    Next Epitech project: a 2D game engine in Java, built from scratch.

Challenges I hit

  • Going back to school after four years of work. Daily exercises graded every evening are a very different rhythm from tickets and on-call. I treated the pools like a job: a fixed routine and asking for help early.
  • Bricking my test phone. My first /e/OS boot failed and relocked the bootloader, and Samsung's protections blocked every way back. I restored the stock firmware, then wrote a check script that compares my build to stock before every flash.
  • Looking for the bug in the wrong place. My server kept freezing on writes and I first blamed the software. The real causes were a faulty SATA cable and slow SMR drives. Now I check the hardware and the logs before touching any config.

What I'm working on next

  • The Java game engine, my next Epitech project, starting in November: designing a real architecture instead of a pile of scripts.
  • Finishing the /e/OS port: fingerprint, camera, Bluetooth audio and my own signing keys, then asking for official /e/OS support.
  • Tests and CI on my own projects, so "it runs" also means "it's tested".
  • Bringing the 3D printer back onto this site's Lab page.
