Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

DevOps Engineer with 10 years of experience on Azure, I combine infrastructure expertise with a FinOps vision to help teams master their cloud costs without sacrificing performance or reliability.

My added value: I work across the entire Azure catalog. This means choosing the right service for the right use (App Service vs. Container Apps vs. AKS, Azure SQL vs. Cosmos DB vs. PostgreSQL Flexible, hot/cold/archive storage, network traffic and egress, licenses, and hybrid benefit) and anchoring these choices directly in the architecture to make them sustainable and reproducible.

My interventions cover:

Auditing existing architectures from a cost/value perspective
Selecting and migrating to services better suited to actual usage
Implementing tagging strategies and cost allocation by team or project
Building dashboards and budget alerts in Azure Cost Management
Integrating FinOps practices into GitLab CI/CD pipelines and Terraform modules

I deliver concrete, financially impactful recommendations, along with the accompanying IaC code.

Types of missions sought

Azure FinOps Audit: Comprehensive review of expenses by service, identification of savings opportunities, report prioritized by impact.

Cost-Effective Architecture: Consulting on the selection of Azure services suited to actual usage (compute, data, storage, network), with IaC implementation.

FinOps Governance: Tagging policies, cost allocation by team/project/environment, Azure alerts and budgets.

Continuous Optimization: Integrating FinOps practices into existing CI/CD pipelines, regular cost reviews.
