Description

CTO / Hands-On CIO –Combining Strategic Vision & Technical Leadership

Technical director and architect at heart, I support SMEs, start-ups, and scale-ups in structuring their tech teams and evolving their Cloud infrastructures.

My specialty? I'm ahybridprofile. My experience as Head of Platform (managing a department of 30 people, budgets, global strategy) has given me the essential business and executive vision for the board. In parallel, my 15 years of technical expertise (AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, Python) allow me to stay grounded in operational reality and design architectures ready for scale.

I don't just draw diagrams or give directives: I drive the vision, I manage the teams, but I get involved in the technical trenches whenever the project demands it.
