Hello! `nemunaire` here, aka Pierre-Olivier; I am an engineer (and passionate about [how things work](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia)), a teacher (and a pioneer of [gamification](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamification) in my classes), a cook (and an advocate of [limiting the ecological footprint in our eating habits](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetarianism)) and I also fight against the hold of [GAFAM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GAFAM) on our time. Besides, I generally adhere to [stoicism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoicism). I love typography, challenges, chocolate (or vanilla?? the choice is too hard) and so many other things!

For 10 years, I taught students of the [*System, Network and Security*](https://srs.epita.fr/) major at [Epita](http://www.epita.fr/): preparing lectures, lab sessions and projects, teaching in class, grading individually, on the topics of [*advanced Linux system administration*](https://adlin.nemunai.re) and [*light virtualization*](https://virli.nemunai.re/) (containers, Docker, LXC, Kubernetes, ...) as well as the related *Linux Internals* (namespaces, cgroups, capabilities, ...).

I was also the project lead supervising the yearly design of a [forensic challenge](https://fic.srs.epita.fr/) for the [International Cybersecurity Forum](https://www.forum-fic.com/)/[European Cyber Cup](https://european-cybercup.com): project planning, coordinating the assistants in charge of follow-up, organizing defenses and mock challenges, developing [the secure platform](https://git.nemunai.re/fic/server), coordinating the students in charge of the infrastructure and the competition organizers, up to setting up and running the challenge on site.

|

Following my light virtualization courses, in April 2022 I published the book [*Conteneurs et technologies du DevOps*](https://alpo.tf/livres/2493960009/). It gathers more than 7 years of teaching container usage: each chapter uncovers new aspects of the technology and builds up skills through challenges of increasing difficulty, from creating and managing containers in a company to how they work at the heart of the Linux kernel.

After 5 years in [Epita](http://epita.fr/), in 2014, I am a graduate engineer! I was following the [***System, Network and Security***](https://srs.epita.fr/) classes.

During my studies, I was *root* of the [*assistants'*](https://assistants.epita.fr/) laboratory and of the *System, Network and Security* laboratory.

With my rich creativity, I'm always working on a lot of amazing projects.
|
|
I spend most of my free time to improve system support, document and **promote ARM-based computer** (and now RISC-V), whether embedded, server or desktop.

You won't find me on any social network, because I don't have time to sell my privacy for free (and I fight against most of them).

{{<icon "fa fa-heart about-icon">}}
|
|
I'm crazy about any knowledge (mainly focus on sciences, typography, society, companies, faune and flora, ...) and am looking for more freedom and independence.
