About Benjamin

Graduated engineer from Mines Télécom.

Voltaire certified at business level (2015).

I prefer simple solutions to complex problems, rather than complex solutions to simple problems.
I am fond of roles requiring versatility and optimization.
I know how to adapt to different contexts, different missions, and different audiences. I like to share, learn from others, teach others, and learn with others.

I am particularly comfortable:
- with Infrastructure as Code technologies (Ansible, Terraform)
- with Linux environments
- with microservices environments (Docker, Kubernetes)
- with writing CI/CD pipelines

  • Orange Cyberdefense
    DevOps Engineer
    TECH
    January 2023 - August 2025 (2 years and 7 months)
    Cesson-Sévigné, France
    As a DevOps engineer, my role is to facilitate the deployment of infrastructures and applications.
    Within my team, I work transversally between the development team and the support team.

    Through my mission, I automate these tasks in several ways:

    Infrastructure deployment via Terraform:
    - Writing Terraform plans (Terragrunt)
    - Instances (ECS) deployed automatically on different Cloud Providers (Azure, FlexibleEngine)

    Application deployment via Ansible:
    - Writing the roles and playbooks necessary for application deployment
    - The application is containerized (Docker) on instances deployed beforehand via Terraform plans

    Application orchestration:
    - Containerization of the entire application
    - Writing manifests/helm charts for integrating the application into Kubernetes

    I am also involved in thinking about, imagining, and designing the evolution of deployed infrastructures.
    This requires being in contact with development teams, ensuring effective communication, and understanding their needs to best meet them.

    The application is fully containerized, hosted on the Flexible Engine cloud and behind a reverse proxy (Traefik).

    Other missions:
    - Building and maintaining internal Docker images
    - OS hardening and building Packer templates
    Ansible Terraform Gitlab CI/CD Kubernetes Docker
