Miquel Guillamet - Sales Engineer based in Sydney

Sales Engineer and Linux enthusiast based in Sydney. I'm currently open to new opportunities.

"Technology has been my passion since childhood, and I've built my career on turning that passion into real business value."

I grew up in Figueres, a small town in Costa Brava, about an hour north of Barcelona, Catalonia. I've been passionate about technology since I was 10 years old, when my uncle Joan introduced me to computers and Linux. Over the years, I've explored many distributions including Slackware, Gentoo, Arch Linux, and CentOS.

I've spent considerable time compiling and customising the Linux kernel from source, fine-tuning performance and hardening systems for security. Around 2003, I translated phpsysinfo into Catalan language and set up an 8 km point-to-point wireless link using Linux. I've been part of the Linux and open source community for many years.

After some convincing, my family's business back in Barcelona now runs entirely on Ubuntu across all desktops and laptops.

In 2007, I moved to Sydney to study a Bachelor of IT. This marked the beginning of my professional journey in Australia, where I've built my career in technology sales and engineering.

Today, as a Sales Engineer, I combine my deep technical knowledge with business acumen to help organizations solve complex technical challenges. My experience spans cybersecurity, infrastructure, and business development, always with a focus on delivering practical solutions that drive real business value.
