About Brandon

Looking for a DevOps engineer who can transform your infrastructure, optimize your costs, and secure your systems?
You've come to the right place.

With 5+ years of experience, I have assisted startups and established companies in securing, automating, and optimizing their cloud and on-premise environments.

My concrete achievements:
- Eliminated €7,000/month in unused resources and optimized infrastructure
- Robust Disaster Recovery Plans tested in real conditions (MTTR <20 minutes)
- Major Migrations: DigitalOcean → Hetzner, Kubernetes → ECS/Serverless, on-premise → AWS
- 100% Automation: provisioning, deployments, monitoring, business scripts (Terraform, Ansible, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI)
- Compliance: ISO 27001, SOC2, HDS (audit, remediation, documentation)
- Multi-cloud and hybrid architectures (AWS, Azure, GCP, on-premise)

Sectors: Training (Epitech), Healthcare, Software, Startups.

I can assist you with:

Infrastructure & Cloud:
- Architecture and security (Linux, Kubernetes, serverless, multi-cloud)
- Server, application, and database migration
- Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible)
- Monitoring and observability (Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch)

DevOps & Automation:
- CI/CD pipelines (GitLab, GitHub Actions)
- Automated application deployment
- Robust backups with appropriate retention
- Disaster Recovery Plan definition and testing

Security:
- OS hardening and network segmentation
- Secret management and automated rotation
- Compliance and security audits
- Multi-level firewall, Vault, auditd

Support:
- Technical documentation and operational procedures
- Training teams on DevOps tools
- Ad-hoc support for critical issues
- Detailed reports and continuous advice

My vision: leverage technology to serve your business, by integrating with your teams and proposing sustainable and documented solutions.
