About Benzaoui

DevOps Architect with over 10 years of experience in IT systems and infrastructures, I support organizations in setting up modern, secure, and highly available environments.

Specializing in the operation, security, and industrialization of infrastructures, I work on critical environments where performance, reliability, and resilience are essential.

My role covers the entire platform lifecycle: from the installation and configuration of infrastructures to their automation, supervision, and operational maintenance.

Expertise:
• Kubernetes (architecture, deployment, operation)
• GitLab CI/CD & deployment automation
• Terraform / OpenTofu / Ansible
• Virtualization & system infrastructures (Linux)
• System and network security (messaging, network, access)
• Performance optimization (application).

During my experiences, I have notably:
• Deployed and maintained critical applications on Kubernetes with full CI/CD integration.
• Industrialized secure deployment pipelines (access management, secrets, private registry)

• Set up and secured enterprise system and messaging infrastructures
• Resolved complex production incidents (performance, network, security)
• Supported technical teams in adopting DevOps practices

I also work on the deployment and integration of web applications, ensuring their performance, security, and integration into existing environments.

Passionate about new technologies, I am committed to continuous improvement with a clear objective: to deliver reliable, high-performing, and fully automated platforms.

Available for high-value-added missions around Kubernetes, DevOps, and infrastructure modernization.
