About Baptiste

👋 My name is Baptiste, an independent consultant and trainer specializing in Cloud and Generative AI. I help SMEs and mid-sized companies regain control over their cloud and AI projects. I assist you in designing robust, high-performing solutions aligned with your business objectives.

🎯 My goal: to combine technical excellence, economic clarity, and operational serenity for your business.

💥 My asset? Transforming buzzwords into concrete business levers. With over 10 years in critical and innovative architectures (security, aerospace, environment…), I guide you in integrating the right technological components at the right time, for the right reasons. With me, there's no over-design, no stress: we move forward with clarity and impact.

👉 Today, I work as an independent consultant and trainer:
- to build innovative solutions aligned with your businesses
- for your AI / Cloud Native skill development (AWS, DevOps, GenAI…) through my training-action methodology
- to design Cloud architectures that last and can handle the load
- to implement a Cloud or AI strategy
- to set up a center of excellence, as well as FinOps practices.
