About Gabriel

Automation Architect | Cloud, Network & Security

Also available for international projects. Fluent in English.

I support Cloud, Network, and Security teams in structuring and industrializing their automation practices.

My involvement goes beyond simple tool development.

I design frameworks, define standards, and formalize sustainable architectures to transition:
  • from manual operations to reliable and reproducible workflows.
  • from isolated scripts to maintainable, versioned, and observable libraries.
  • from individual initiatives to a structured and governed team approach.
My expertise is based on:
  • Advanced Python
  • Clean Code and Clean Architecture philosophy (Hexagonal Architecture)
  • Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible)
  • CI/CD, GitOps
  • Cloud Integration (AWS)
  • Network Architecture (IPv4/IPv6)
  • Security-by-design
I am involved in defining architectures, formalizing standards, frameworks, and best practices, as well as their operational implementation.
A particular focus is placed on code quality, CI/CD pipeline reliability, and long-term maintainability.
I produce high-level and technical architecture and operational documentation, ensuring the sustainability of solutions. I support their adoption by teams through knowledge transfer and targeted technical sessions.

My goal: transform your automated workflows into robust, scalable, and fully observable solutions, aligned with your security and operational requirements.

    Automation Architect – Network Security & Framework Standardization
    SOFTWARE PUBLISHING
    January 2026 - Today (5 months)
    Grenoble, France

    Description

    Involvement within the Network Security Architecture team to structure and industrialize automation practices.

    The mission goes beyond simple development: it aims to define and formalize an automation framework standard for the team, in order to align practices with requirements for robustness, security, and long-term maintainability.

    Key Achievements

    • Review of the IPv6 standard with a cybersecurity-oriented analysis
    • Creation of a comprehensive inventory of existing automations (ownership, criticality, impact in case of failure, maturity level, target environment)
    • Design and formalization of a Standardized Automation Framework integrating a maturity model aligned with automation criticality, defining a progressive adoption trajectory (short term), stabilization (governance and maturity), and evolution towards advanced observability and monitoring
    • Contribution to a project analyzing the external exposure of network environments (on-prem DMZ) and AWS, through correlation of infrastructure data and study of potential attack paths in hybrid architectures
    • Development of automation tools for reporting related to external exposure (network and Cloud)

    Ongoing Transformation

    • Transition from opportunistic automations to a structured, governed, and scalable automation capability
    • Clarification and formalization of internal technical standards
    • Alignment of automation practices with security and operational requirements
    • Reduction of operational and cyber risks related to critical automations
    • Cross-functional positioning between security, network, and automation teams
