Cédric J.

Architect of GenAI and cloud platforms for a global pharmaceutical group. I design the technical architectures that transform AI strategy into production systems. Evaluation and scoping of generative AI platforms, technical due diligence on internal solutions, design of secure by design cloud-native architectures, and alignment of technical choices with business vision. The bridge between the technological direction and the product teams.

🎯 Objectives:

Structure a robust hybrid Cloud / On-Premise architecture (AWS + OVH)

Industrialize delivery processes

Elevate the technical and organizational maturity of the team

💡 Key actions taken:

✨ Architecture: Design and implementation of a scalable and secure architecture across 3 environments (dev, staging, prod), combining the strengths of AWS Cloud with an OVH On-Premise infrastructure.

🧱 Technical Stack: PHP / Symfony 7 – strategic choice for its stability, performance, and maintainability. Definition of best practices and implementation of a demanding technical framework.

🤝 Technical Lead: Supervision and skill development of the development team. Implementation of a code quality repository, systematic reviews, clean code culture.

🔄 Software Factory & DevOps: Creation of a complete CI/CD pipeline on GitLab to automate tests, builds, and deployments. Objective achieved: faster, more reliable delivery, less friction.

🗃️ Versioning: Clear branching strategy and code centralization on GitLab for smooth and controlled collaboration.

📈 Project Management: Agile Kanban Methodology. Implementation of a backlog structured around User Stories and fine-grained control via GitLab tickets to ensure visibility, prioritization, and commitment.

📌 Result:

The mission transformed a project in a critical phase into a solid foundation, aligned with modern standards, with a well-equipped and empowered team. Accelerated delivery, controlled architecture, assured growth trajectory.

In this high-stakes mission, I was mandated to lead a complete technological transformation, ensuring service continuity and deliverable performance in a critical environment.

🎯 Objectives:

Successfully achieve a technological migration without business disruption

Establish a modern and automated cloud infrastructure

Align teams around a controlled and measurable delivery process

⚙️ Actions taken:

🚀 Structured Migration: Development of a clear, milestone-based roadmap with formalized deliverables and precise checkpoints. Objective: maintain visibility, commitment, and momentum.

☁️ Cloud Infrastructure: Design and deployment of an automated AWS infrastructure with Terraform, ensuring scalability, reliability, and repeatability.

🔄 Software Factory: Implementation of CI/CD pipelines on GitLab for regular, secure, and fully traceable deployments.

🧩 Cross-functional Scoping: Facilitation of technical, functional, and business workshops to ensure complete stakeholder alignment, a shared vision of challenges, and effective resource mobilization.

🛠️ Development Oversight: Management of work across the entire stack:

API / back-end / front-end PHP Symfony

Business ERP and Data Warehouse (real estate / catalog)

✅ Quality & Delivery: Responsible for final deliverables, I ensured compliance with business, technical, and regulatory requirements, within deadlines and budget.

🙌 Coaching & Continuous Improvement: Supporting tech teams in their skill development, implementing key performance indicators, and continuously optimizing processes.

📌 Result:

A successful migration, empowered teams, a modernized system, and secure deliveries. A clear trajectory, smooth execution, and a foundation ready to support future evolution.
