Alexandre FAYE
Systems expert

As a systems, cloud and network expert, I design and secure critical infrastructure where high availability is the rule. From on-site support to engineering, I keep services running for organisations that cannot afford to stop.

Profile &
mindset

A passionate systems expert, I worked my way up from on-site support to engineering critical infrastructure. This dual perspective lets me design technology solutions that are both robust and secure. A competitor at heart and a keen sportsman, I take on every technical challenge with the discipline and determination of an athlete.

Career

The core of
my expertise

Day to day, I run critical environments where high availability is the rule. My expertise ranges from advanced virtualisation with VMware vSAN to perimeter protection with EDR/XDR solutions and traffic management on F5. I also handle identity hybridisation with Azure AD to secure access for more than 3,000 users.

My goal is to design ever more resilient architectures by anticipating tomorrow’s threats. I approach every project with rigorous discipline and a constant drive for performance, from system hardening to process automation. To me, a robust infrastructure is not an end in itself, but the result of a daily technical commitment to keeping services running.
