A long little story…
Hello,
My name is Jérôme Guibert, I fell into the pot of IT at a very young age, and I have somewhat persisted in this direction since…
If I tell you that my first professional experience was at Senoble, for a summer job after university. I was thinking of stacking yogurts on pallets. But I found myself in the “quality - research and development” department (too ugly life):
99% female service, shy like no one, no self-confidence, (…) the base doesn’t seem to be off to a good start, right?
However, I had fun for almost 6 months, changing their way of working.
How ?
- listening to them talk to each other,
- replace tons of intermixed spreadsheets with simple databases, ad hoc forms and reports.
- automate all daunting tasks that could be
- listen to electronic scales beeping for hours to aggregate the measurements of all the production chains, (sounds like Mozart …)
- introduce them to instant messaging included in the Windows NT system (yes, NT) to better chat / communicate
It was just few little things that corresponded to their use. However, the enthusiasm on their faces hasn’t left me since.
Lesson 1: The simplest things are often the best.
Lesson 2: the techniques although at the service of the business, can change it in a profound way.
Lesson 3: Never touch the “server” without talking to the “admins” first (or, don’t get caught …)
If it had to be done again now? They would have tablets in the lab, a voice and visual interface to send their results, automated predictions, real-time comparisons, but above all: secure drawers (always dangerous to open a drawer with a “biodegradable bacteriological bomb” stashed by colleagues during holidays … see there a yogurt that took the time to mature during your absence)
My first experiences at Wis, a startup, allowed me to discover many aspects of our business such as design and development of course, but also system administration, deployment, quality of deliverables, code, tests, team management, taking into account constraints that are not necessarily technical…
This diversity led me to architecture activities, and subsequently, I had the opportunity to do consulting, audits, training.
Passionate about technology, I love to bring a “snowball” added value to my clients, my projects: that is to say, to create a collective enthusiasm based on simple and appropriate solutions for everyone. What could be more exhilarating to see men and women getting passionate, forgetting the limits, dreaming and creating, discovering their abilities?
And what a pleasure to see his young colleague just “Product Owner”, alone, explain up and down the SSO principles and exchanges to an audience of tech-lead cabled “basic-quote”, without getting dismantled? easy, no, but when you have the fire…
Currently, I work as an architect, that is to say both on the global and local organization of distributed applications, with many users and many constraints, which also generate many recipes!
Computing is an information science and an art in its own right. New (and old) technologies continue to awaken our daily life experiences every day.
If you want to get in touch, do not hesitate, I will do my best to answer you as soon as possible
Take care of you,
Jerome
Airdock: the little story
Airdock comes from a long way, realized with my system colleagues in 2015. It was the great craze around Docker, and we were (and still are) convinced that containerization would allow us to achieve “crazy stuff”.
While some were doing internal com’, we were doing container for every open source project we used every day. These images did not exist at the time: the open source movement did not yet provide them. Hopefully, things change !
Air for the objective of lightness, simplicity,
R for reproducibility,
Dock for the docker, or the lego brick for young and old.
Although our images are mostly obsolete because now provided by most open source projects, the spirit remains and the fervor too!
