About Mehdi

With 14 years of experience in enterprise architecture, cloud infrastructure, and application modernization, I specialize in cloud transformations and DevSecOps practices. I have developed in-depth expertise in designing scalable, secure, and compliant architectures (DORA, GDPR, etc.), while integrating a FinOps approach to optimize cloud costs. My career has also involved leading systems governance and implementing processes that ensure the sustainable performance and compliance of deployed solutions.
