ようこそ!

My name is Nicolas Ponchon, and after more than a decade spent translating texts, I have decided to switch careers and add programming languages to the languages I already spoke. After successfully completing my studies at 42 Barcelona, I am now looking for opportunities to work as a DevOps engineer.

During my studies, I developed a strong foundation in automation, cloud computing, and DevOps practices. As part of my learning journey I had the opportunity to automate the deployment of applications on the cloud and out of curiosity, I have taken on the opportunity to deploy this website entirely myself on an Oracle Cloud instance, using Terraform and Ansible. You can find more details about the deployment here.

The design template is provided by TemplateMo.

I am particularly passionate about automation and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines. I see them as useful tools that make repetitive, boring tasks more efficient and that, overall, help developers do what they do best: focus on the code, not on the deployment. In other words, I enjoy making it work for everyone, not just on your machine.

When I am not busy debugging crashed out Kubernetes pods or failed ArgoCD deployments, I like to spend my time on the saddle, cycling through the beautiful landscape of sunny Barcelona. I also enjoy analogue photography so if you are curious, why not have a quick look at my personal gallery?
