• Industrialization of applications from user story refinement (considering infra & deployment constraints).

• Containerization of Spring Boot microservices (Java 17) using Docker (image optimization).

• Deployment and operation on Kubernetes (Deployments, Services, Ingress, ConfigMaps, Secrets, HPA).

• Multi-environment packaging via Helm charts.

• Infrastructure provisioning with Terraform (clusters, namespaces, networks, cloud resources).

• Setting up CI/CD pipelines (build, tests, security scan, automatic K8s deployment).

• Configuration and operation of Kafka in a distributed environment.

• Management of secrets and workload security (Vault, RBAC, NetworkPolicies).

• Implementation of observability (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki).

 Technical and architectural design

◦ Define the software architecture of Java applications (monolithic, microservices, etc.).

◦ Choose frameworks and technologies (Spring Boot, JPA, PostgreSQL, pgpool,…).

◦ Participate in cloud architecture (Kubernetes, AWS, GNE2 cloud…).

◦ Design CI/CD flows, security, scalability, and resilience strategies.

 Development and code quality

◦ Perform complex or critical developments (POC, sensitive APIs…).

◦ Implement best practices: clean code, TDD, code review.

◦ Define naming, packaging, and software architecture conventions.

◦ Define Git flows for development, maintenance, and delivery.

◦ Supervise tests (unit, integration, E2E).

 Cloud Deployment & DevOps

◦ Manage application deployment in the cloud (Kubernetes, Helm, Docker...).

◦ Work on CI/CD pipeline automation (Jenkins).

◦ Implement monitoring solutions (Grafana, Loki).

◦ Ensure management of secrets, access, and configuration (Vault, ConfigMaps, secrets).

 Technical team leadership

◦ Mentor junior developers and interns.

◦ Lead technical ceremonies (technical refinement, tech reviews, architecture committees).

◦ Coordinate technical tasks with other teams (Ops, PO, QA...).

◦ Approve PRs and support critical decisions.

 Client/project relationship

◦ Challenge functional requirements with POs.

◦ Participate in effort estimation.

◦ Act as a technical referent for clients.

 Technological watch and innovation

◦ Test new Java / Cloud technologies.

◦ Propose continuous improvements on tooling, security, and performance.

◦ Share best practices or conduct internal demos.

I played a central role in the OpenID Project as the OpenID SSO Referent and Manager of the CSN application. I managed DSP2-SOCLE SSO consents, actively collaborating with various teams like MOA and Operations. I led technical workshops, established rigorous development standards, and oversaw the complete development of the application, ensuring testing, production deployment, and maintenance. Within the SST Project, I was responsible for refactoring a monolithic application while strictly adhering to hexagonal architecture, clean architecture, and clean code standards. I developed and implemented APIs to ensure secure authentication and manage new tokens. I supervised code reviews, guided developers, and formalized comprehensive technical documentation, including STD, operational manuals, and DAT. In the DevOps Project, I played a key role in setting up Jenkins pipelines for various projects. I used Docker images to streamline project management and orchestrated the migration to Kubernetes (K8S) in development environments. Concurrently, I managed the E-fraud Project, overseeing the evolutionary maintenance of banking fraud detection tools (CCI, CMU). I led the migration of these tools to modern architectures while authoring exhaustive technical documentation to ensure operational continuity. I managed a team of 8 people and worked in a diverse technical environment, including JAVA, Backbone js, React js, Javascipt ES 6, JBoss 10, Postgres, Intellij, Maven3, Jenkins, REST and SOAP web services, GIT, OpenID, OAuth2, SQL, Spring Boot, Spring Batch, Docker, and Kubernetes, and AWS. My technical commitment, cross-functional collaboration, and attention to detail contributed to the success of these projects.
