Leading Linux System Engineer: Clovis Wabila

PDO Project: Global Scope PDO Application Component Upgrade
The PDO project aims to upgrade the components of the PDO application on a worldwide scale. This initiative holds significant value for the client as it mitigates major risks related to vulnerabilities and operational reliability.
Clovis’ involvement and technical expertise have been instrumental in:
Conducting a comprehensive assessment of the existing landscape.
Defining a clear roadmap for the year.
Establishing a structured methodology for technical operations related to site migrations.
Sharing the project scope with additional resources while providing guidance, training, and upskilling opportunities for DevOps teams in the US and Pune.
Given the complexity of this project—where configurations vary across sites—its successful execution was considered “unlikely” by the client. Clovis tackled this technical challenge with his expertise, making the project a reality. From the first completed sites, his approach effectively resolved recurring incidents at the VIT site, which had been in crisis.
This is a major success for Accenture, the B-Team, and the client.
Beyond his technical contributions, Clovis has significantly improved his communication skills and technical leadership. He has clearly stepped up as the Tech Lead of the team, mentoring DevOps members as well as resources in India and the Americas.
His ability to take a step back and propose out-of-the-box solutions has optimized project costs—an aspect highly appreciated by the client (e.g., automation efforts and the strategic involvement of Michelin Pune for part of the scope).
Additionally, Clovis plays a key role in production incident management and root cause investigations.

Thank you Clovis for all the great work! Clovis and I worked diligently setting up an Ansible codebase from scratch to manage email servers, LDAP servers, and a variety of common modules for an internal set of bare-metal servers. I was mostly hands-off , testing the Ansible code delivered by Clovis and providing feedback & code reviews. Clovis was demonstrably very determined to reach the desired outcome and was very collaborative & communicative around the uncertainties that arose within the project.
Clovis’s attention to detail and problem-solving skills are matched only by his friendly demeanor. A pleasure to work with!
We will definitely be keeping in touch and I will reach out again when I need some Ansible / Linux work. Thanks again!

I have been workiWorking with Vudinga was an exceptional experience. Our LDAP issues were corrected quickly and Vudinga went above and beyond to understand the entire project. Super impressed with his wide experience and ability to quickly integrate with the entire project. I look forward to continued work with this freelancer as my primary resource.
