Arnaud Ungaro

Systems and Network Administrator | Bioinformatician


Systems and network administrator with over 10 years of experience, specializing in managing UNIX/Linux infrastructures, virtualization (VMware, Proxmox), and storage solutions (Ceph, HP Nimble, TrueNAS). With a PhD in ecology and bioinformatics, I stand out for my versatility and ability to quickly adapt to various technical environments, whether it’s managing complex infrastructures or developing bioinformatics solutions.

  • Infrastructure: Server administration and management of virtualized environments, system optimization for high performance, management of shared and dedicated hosting.
  • Storage and Virtualization: Solid knowledge of storage technologies (Ceph, HP Nimble, TrueNAS, Synology NAS) and scalable virtualization solutions.
  • Networking and Security: Management of Cisco ASA, Fortigate, and Arbor firewalls, Zero Trust implementation with Teleport, and advanced DNSSEC management.
  • SSO and Identity Management: Administration of SSO solutions with OpenAM.
  • Workstations: Management of Linux workstations and daily use of MacOS as a work environment.
  • Asset and Ticket Management: Expertise in asset and stock management with GLPI, and ticket management with RT (Request Tracker) and Zendesk.
  • Bioinformatics: Development of software solutions for genomic and transcriptomic analysis, and systems management for research projects.
  • Self-taught: Continuous learning and quick adaptation to new technical and technological challenges.

I am known for delivering high-performing technical solutions and maintaining a high level of client satisfaction in complex and demanding environments.
