About Houssem

Passionate about designing cloud-native architectures that combine raw performance and resilience, I have been supporting organizations with critical needs (Energy, Insurance, Taxation) in their digital transformation for over 8 years. My approach? Reducing technical complexity to maximize business impact.
💡 What I bring to an organization:
* Performance & Modernization: Quarkus and Java 21+ expert, I advocate for the transition to lightweight and responsive environments through native compilation and gRPC.
* Scalable Architecture: Adherent to Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and Event-Driven architectures to build highly available and maintainable systems.
* Operational Excellence: Technical lead convinced by Clean Code practices, TDD, and DevOps culture (GitOps, Total Observability).
📈 Concrete Results (Key Wins):
* Abeille Assurances: 70% reduction in claims processing time thanks to a new asynchronous architecture.
* Sercel: 40% reduction in memory footprint through optimization of the Datahub under Quarkus.
* Cloud Migration: Orchestration of complex transitions between legacy systems (IBM MQ) and AWS managed services.
🛠 Preferred technological stack in 2026:
* Cloud: AWS (Certified Developer), EKS, Lambda, Bedrock (GenAI).
* Backend: Quarkus, Spring Boot 3, Kafka, gRPC.
* DevOps/Infra: Terraform, ArgoCD, Kubernetes.
Let's discuss your cloud architecture challenges or migration issues.
