Alvaro GONZALEZ ALVAREZ

CERN, Geneva - Switzerland

My area of work is Linux servers. Specifically, the CERN central Version control systems, including the CVS service, LCGCVs service and SVN service, and the Linux license servers. My job is to keep the 4 services available, fixing the problems, improving the performance, upgrading the programs, improving the infrastructure to manage the services, ... As most of our infrastructure is done in PERL and BASH, these two languages are the ones I have more expertise on. In the same way, we use other languages as: the PAN language for the QUATTOR templates and PHP for the web interfaces. Besides I have a fair knowledge of PYTHON, JAVA and C. As they are also part of our infrastructure.
