About
I'm Vincent Demeester, a french developer based near Paris. I work at Red Hat as a Senior Principal Software Engineer, where I focus on CI/CD — specifically the Tekton project and OpenShift Pipelines.
Previously, I worked at Docker (the company, when it was still called that) and Zenika. I'm a maintainer of the Moby/Docker project and a contributor to NixOS/nixpkgs.
§Interests
I write mostly Go, with some Nix, Emacs Lisp, and shell. My tools are Emacs (with org-mode for everything) and NixOS on all my machines.
I run a small homelab — a mix of NixOS machines managing services like paperless, media, DNS, VPN, and this website. I care about reproducibility, declarative configuration, and infrastructure I can understand.
Outside of computers: cycling, reading, cooking, and being a dad.
§This site
This is a digital garden — a persistent personal space on the web. Content is written in org-mode, exported via ox-tufte, post-processed by soupault, and deployed with rsync.
The flux stream is generated by a small Go tool that aggregates activity from GitHub, git history, bookmarks, and notes.
The design is inspired by Tufte CSS, Beat Hagenlocher, Gwern, and Tonsky. System fonts, vertical rhythm, minimal color.
