Axel Gentils (Mr.Nice)
Technical Lead · Professional AV & Digital Signage · IT, Networks & Web
Versatile technical lead, equally comfortable with professional audiovisual and digital signage as with IT, networking and web development. I like understanding systems in depth, solving technical problems on site and learning new technologies fast: I'm currently training for my Amateur Radio licence and regularly complete Linux Foundation certifications. I've led AV deployments in France and abroad (Germany, United Arab Emirates…) for major luxury groups, and I'm now looking to put that versatility to work on ambitious technical projects.
