About Cedric

Expert Cloud, DevOps & Data | Azure · Terraform · Databricks | 15+ years of infrastructure experience

Independent consultant since 2010, I support IT departments and technical teams in modernizing their infrastructures, from on-premise to cloud, including automation and data.

What I bring to your projects:

After several years working with system and network foundations (Microsoft, Linux, VMware), I pivoted to Azure cloud more than six years ago. Today, my core business combines three high-value-added areas:

Cloud & FinOps— Design and optimization of Azure architectures (AZ-104 certified), FinOps awareness with active community monitoring.

DevOps & Automation— Implementation of CI/CD pipelines with Azure DevOps, Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible, Packer), advanced scripting (PowerShell, Bash, Python).

Data & DataOps— Deployment and management of data platforms on Azure Data Factory and Databricks, with continuous skill development towards MLOps and AI.
Reference and trainer — I train teams in cloud and automation, host webinars, and share content on my YouTube channel.

Automation: Terraform, Ansible, Packer ·
Data: Databricks, Azure Data Factory ·
