About

My name is Cédric Delalande. I am a french software engineer. I live near Poitiers, France. I am a husband and a father of four.

After a 19-year career as an English teacher, I switched to IT - no regrets. Check out my résumé.

I code in Ruby on Rails. I’m interested in Rust, Golang, Crystal and Gleam. I have a DevOps streak, with solid experience in Kubernetes on Google Cloud and AWS.

I have ADHD – without the H – which means I’m a bit of a scatterbrain. I have trouble switching context, but I’m also very creative and I can hyperfocus on a task for hours, days, weeks, months, as long as I manage to eat, sleep, go to the bathroom and take breaks, which sounds a lot easier than it is. Believe me.

I maintain the Barley gem, a ruby ActiveModel serializer.

I have a soft spot for clean code and software architecture in general. I’m a Doom Emacs user, but constantly kicking the tyres of alternatives, like Zed, for instance. I type in Ergo-L.

You can find me on the web under my pseudonym, MoskitoHero, or under my real name.
