After a long search we hired a new devops engineer: Sylvain Morin! Sylvain comes to us from GBIF France, where he was instrumental in setting up their ALA instance for managing biodiversity data. Sylvain got started with us at the beginning of January, working with Patrick to help manage and scale our server infrastructure as we grow, something Patrick has been doing pretty much solo up until this point. He's already been improving our backup strategy by adding more redundancy and security throughout the process, and generally getting familiar with our systems and practices. When he's not keeping our ship afloat, Sylvain is a father and a husband, and seems to be as good at building physical objects as he is digital ones! He told me he recently built a bookshelf and I was like cool, setting up an Ikea shelf is definitely pretty satisfying, but no, he meant buying metal rails, cutting them to size, and welding them so they wrapped around a wall radiator. Next level. Sylvain has been interested in nature for his entire life, but has become more interested in learning names and really understanding his local ecosystems in the suburbs of Paris over the past ten years.
Please welcome Sylvain!
