Benjamin Roget — Software & Systems

Building robust backend systems and declarative infrastructure.

Software Engineer focused on backend development and systems tooling. By combining rigorous automated testing with declarative environments (NixOS, Docker), I build reliable, maintainable applications.

Currently seeking a 3-month engineering internship — starting June 2027.

Experience

Software Engineer (Co-op)

Sept 2025 – Present

Numih France (DOGRH)

  • Architected and maintain a unified E2E test engine (Java Spring Boot, Selenium) running 50–70 automated integration tests, executable identically via Maven in CI or an async REST API.
  • Refactored the test architecture to cut the false-positive rate by ~70% and reduce environment/version migrations from ~4 hours to under 10 minutes.
  • Built developer tooling and data-isolation abstractions (Jenkins) to interact easily with in-house applications and eliminate concurrent test collisions.
  • Developed and deployed a Spring Boot internal tool that auto-distributes daily product-support duties across ~40 developers.

Selected Work

A collection of hardcore systems and infrastructure I've built and configured.

min-btc-node
A lightweight Bitcoin address tracker written in Rust — not a full node. It connects to the network to follow and correlate address activity, exercising raw TCP, binary serialization and concurrent peer handling without leaning on a library.

GitHub
nixos-config
Declarative NixOS configurations and dotfiles that turn 'it works on my machine' into a versioned, rebuildable artifact — multi-host Infrastructure-as-Code for fully reproducible environments (also covers the self-hosted services formerly listed under a separate HomeLab entry).

pixel-war
A Web3 pixel-canvas project built as a course exercise — exploring on-chain ownership, ERC-721 minting and smart-contract security through a bidding model on pixels. Academic project, not deployed to production.
