Neat suits. Clean configs. Neat solutions.
When your infrastructure needs to be sustainable, robust, and free.
Check out these neat things I do:
1. Free Software for Public Good
Governments, foundations, and research institutions deserve infrastructure they can inspect. I make that happen.
2. The Right Tool for the Right Job
Puppet for configuration management and compliance. Ansible for automation. Containers for ephemeral workloads. Every problem deserves its own solution — neatly applied.
3. We Watch. We Fix. You Sleep.
Self-hosted monitoring and alerting — Zabbix, Prometheus, and Grafana, running on your infrastructure, under your control.
4. Neatly Innovative AI
I believe AI should earn trust, not demand it. Rosett-AI leads the way — with more tools coming. Governance, transparency, and confidence for AI-assisted development, all open-source.
Who’s behind NeatNerds?
One founder. Two decades of infrastructure experience. A wardrobe of suits and a terminal that runs green — because red means someone wasn’t thorough enough. Hugo builds from Herbeumont, Belgium.
My philosophy
I believe infrastructure belongs to the people who depend on it — that software licences should guarantee freedom, not restrict it, that AI should earn trust through transparency, not demand it through lock-in, and that a well-pressed suit and a clean git log are both signs of someone who gives a damn.
Why NeatNerds?
- You talk to the person who does the work. No account managers, no handoffs, no junior staff sent in after the contract is signed.
- I clean up well. The suit isn’t vanity — it’s a signal. When you’re in a room where decisions are made, showing up prepared means your technical recommendations actually get heard.
- I work with you, not for you. If something needs to be said, I say it. A consultant who only tells you what you want to hear isn’t a consultant — that’s a yes-machine with an invoice.
- If I build it, you own it. GPL-3.0-only. No lock-in, no proprietary surprises.
