Thirty years among machines
What crosses from one world to another : the flow
From large corporations to IT security: twenty years designing, integrating and protecting systems that must never stop.
Large corporations
In the 2000s, Alexander left the small company for large corporate accounts. Design, development and testing for banks, integration platforms, multi-million-euro contracts in insurance, secure environments of several dozen servers in demilitarised zones. He learned to keep complex systems standing, and the teams around them.
Security
From about 2015 to 2022 he devoted himself to cybersecurity, including two years as chief information security officer. Protecting access, watching the flows, keeping the machine breathing: the trade bears a family likeness to the thresholds of breath in his childhood.
