Me #
Hi there! I’m Stanislas, a software engineer based in France. I currently work for Datadog on enabling the product’s support for OpenTelemetry signals.
I’m passionate about computers and technology. I like to build things and tinker with systems at every step of the stack. My work has ranged from core cloud infrastructure to backend to websites and mobile apps.
The blog #
This is my personal blog where I write mainly about my computer-related tinkering, primarily around systems administration and software development. Occasionally, I also write about my side interests and travels.
I launched it in January 2018.
You can see my featured posts on the homepage, the full list of posts, and the different topics I have discussed in the tags. You can also use the search in the top right of the website, and subscribe via RSS.
Some stats since launch:
- ~100 technical articles
- 800 reader comments
- ~1m page views
This blog is:
- Built with Hugo, an open-source static site generator.

A successor to my previous blog #
I consider this blog a successor to my French blog which I started in 2014 while in high school.
That blog started on my Raspberry Pi, and I began writing about Raspberry Pis, then Linux admin things on the server side and Linux on the client side as I was a furious distro-hopper.
That blog was running on WordPress, which taught me a ton about running websites. I was pretty passionate about web optimization and SEO, on both the client side and the server side, which led me down some pretty crazy routes:
- Compiling Nginx with custom patches from Cloudflare
- HHVM as an alternative PHP runtime
- The SPDY protocol which became HTTP/2
- I was also really into encryption despite being bad at math:
Some stats:
- 120 posts
- 1700 comments
- 1 million+ page views
