Back to original languageAbout David
I help teams stabilize, secure, and industrialize their applications in Azure, quickly and cleanly.
👋 Freelance Cloud & DevOps Architect, specializing in Microsoft Azure, I step in when the infra goes haywire: technical debt, shaky CI/CD, exploding costs, or urgent need for scalability.
✅ My job: reassess, secure, and automate.
🧠 Specialties:
• Azure Architecture (App Services, VNet, Key Vault, App Gateway, Private Link)
• CI/CD (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, GitLab, YAML pipelines)
• Infra as Code (Terraform, Bicep)
• Authentication (Azure AD, B2C, OAuth2 scopes)
• Security & Networking (Managed Identity, NAT Gateway, Zero Trust)
• FinOps (cost analysis, optimization plans)
💼 Concrete examples:
🔧 Complete redesign of an Azure IT system with 9 ACI, 5 KeyVaults, and self-signed certificates: migration to a stable, secure, and 75% cheaper infrastructure.
🚀 Deployment of a full Azure DevOps CI/CD platform for a startup incubated at IoT Valley.
☁️ .NET & SQL migration to App Services + Azure SQL + Azure Monitor, with intelligent alerts.
📌 What I deliver: stable, documented, maintainable infrastructure, and a serene client.
Available for freelance or emergency missions fully remote, or in the Toulouse region.
