Description

Azure API Management (APIM) & Kong Gateway specialist consultant. I help teams secure, govern, and industrialize their APIs: OAuth2/OIDC/JWT, rate-limit/quotas, policies, dev portal, versioning. On the delivery side: IaC (Terraform/Bicep) + CI/CD (Azure DevOps / GitHub Actions) + observability (App Insights, Log Analytics, Dynatrace). The result: more reliable APIs, smoother deployment, and a scalable platform.

Azure API Management (APIM)

Implementation and evolution of APIs on Azure APIM with advanced policies: rate-limit, quotas, blocking/restrictions (access rules, IP), validate-jwt (JWT/claims control).

Normalization of exchanges via Liquid templates (responses, errors, payloads) for consistent APIs on the application/client side.

Governance: Swagger / OpenAPI contracts, structuring by products / versions / tags for a clear and maintainable API catalog.

Testing & Acceptance: Postman (auth, errors, edge cases, traffic limits, HTTP codes).

Kong Gateway

Implementation and maintenance of Kong Gateway: routing, service exposure, consistent access control and traffic management rules.

NGINX Reverse Proxy

Implementation of an NGINX reverse proxy (including Nginx Ingress Controller) to secure entry and stabilize access to backends.
Integration Kubernetes/AKS: routing, service exposure, controlled entry point.

Focus e-commerce (critical paths)

Securing and stabilizing login / cart / checkout / payment endpoints: traffic control, abuse protection, proper error management for a more stable experience during peak periods.

Delivery & Run

Industrialization: CI/CD (Azure Pipelines / GitLab CI / Jenkins) + IaC (Terraform, ARM, Azure CLI) across multiple environments.
Monitoring: Azure Monitor, Dynatrace, Prometheus/Grafana (latency, errors, availability).
