  • Secure CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab, Jenkins, Azure DevOps)
  • Governance, security, compliance, FinOps
  • Technical and methodological support for teams (DevOps / Cloud / Architecture)

💡 I particularly enjoy working on:

  • Cloud transformation of complex IS
  • Highly regulated environments (public sector, healthcare, finance)
  • Data and Lakehouse platforms (Databricks, S3, Glue...)
  • Continuous improvement of delivery and software quality processes
