💬 “I worked at CMA CGM as a Cloud Builder within the team responsible for backup, cloud service continuity, and disaster recovery. I managed and optimized backup strategies across multiple clouds and regions, contributed to the selection of the company's main backup solution, and ensured its seamless integration into the existing cloud infrastructure. I also worked on a project to design a secure and scalable architecture for migrating an application from GCP to Azure using AKS and Terraform.”
