Colleagues describe him as "Over the last 9 years Gilles has been working within our organization as DBA managing our SQL databases. What else to be said than the fact that Gilles was by far one of the best DBA I have ever worked with. Gilles was always flexible, reliable, very professional and his technical knowledge on DB SQL is very high compared to market standards. We can honestly say that he was one of the main contributors to our platform stability and high availability thanks to his eye on details and expertise. It’s also important to mention that Gilles is very skilled about SQL advanced features but also all the surrounding environment (such as system and network areas) and this is extremely rare to find. Gilles is a very nice colleague and person to work with. It could sound not much but Gilles is one of the only person that over the last 9 years was always the one answering : ‘Yes always !’ when I would be asking if all ok. This shows his spirit! I would highly recommend him when it comes to challenging situation with complex environment. He is the man you can clearly count on." and "Running a mission critical SaaS payment service means that you have to rely a strong DBA's managing your database. This should be always up, be resilient whatever the unforeseen issue, be secure given the Industry and be able to cope with strong volume growth. Gilles is certainly one of these rare profiles you want to have in this critical position. I had the luxury to have him supporting our payment platform and its most critical component. Gilles is very skilled about SQL Server advanced features but also system and network surrounding areas. He works autonomously but knows when to raise an issue or call for decision, and he can coordinate DB upgrade or transformation projects. On a personal note, Gilles is very easy to work with, and I have particularly appreciated his sense of commitment and loyalty, the open and honest discussions we could have and ... his sense of humor."
