hi! i'm alice, a programmer and system administrator in france with a wide range of skills and knowledge around technology and internet infrastructure.
[PACKET IMPACT] is my freelance consulting entity focused on VPN services and network & hosting solutions.
I mostly work with:
- commercial VPN companies who need advice, tools, and server care;
- community internet services who need customized & affordable hosting;
- free software projects as my main tools and effects.
For a reasonable fee i might:
- advise on any of your computer-related problems and needs.
- work and lead on software, especially in Rust, Python, C/++, and web projects.
- find how to host any kind of website or workload under various constraints.
- help with linux servers (applications, storage, hypervisors, routers, etc).
- help with databases (mainly PostgreSQL) and data storage & processing.
- help with WireGuard, OpenVPN, or networking in general.
- help with reverse-engineering tasks and malware analysis.
I am interested in:
- decentralized systems, cryptography, and secure communication tools;
- simpler solutions making the most out of modern affordances.
Notable Software:
