Presentation

Je suis consultant IT indépendant basé en Charente, spécialisé dans l'accompagnement des artisans et petites structures. Principalement trois principaux services : la souveraineté numérique, l'optimisation du matériel et l'open-source.

Utiliser un NAS pour stocker en local, réparer les ordinateurs ou déclasser des ordinateurs et réutiliser sous Linux plutôt que de pousser à l'achat neuf (Certaines fois proposer aux salariés l'acquisition de matériel). Et je privilégie les outils libres pour que mes clients gardent la main sur leurs données et la maitrise de leur numérique.

Depuis plusieurs années, je suis aussi président de LAPLLA.net, une association de logiciel libre avec un FabLab actif (imprimantes 3D, laser, électronique).

Je crois sincèrement qu'une informatique responsable doit être souveraine, réparable et transparente.

Rejoindre l'INR, c'est pour moi une façon de contribuer à ce changement et de montrer qu'on peut conseiller en IT sans être complice de la dépendance propriétaire.
