About Etienne

With 14 years of engineering experience, I am a network and security architect with strong experience in carrier networks and large enterprise networks. After obtaining my engineering degree in Information Systems and Telecommunications from the University of Technology of Troyes (UTT), I first worked as a network operations engineer at TOTAL, then as a network architect in two departments of the operator Orange, working on network deployment, operation, and security projects. In 2018, I joined the architecture department at e-SNCF to support network transformation and modernization projects. Since 2022, I have worked at EDF on Secure LAN and SD-LAN architectures, then at Odigo on the security of service platform architectures in data centers, and on migration and support operations.
