About Mickael

Infrastructure engineer for 25 years, I have specialized in cloud solutions since 2015.
Since 2017, I have been working exclusively on Kubernetes (mainly upstream/vanilla and VMware Tanzu). Automation through GitOps & Infra-as-Code approaches are at the heart of all my projects.
I adapt to all sizes of organizations, whether large corporations or startups.

- My difference: I focus on *your* needs
- My strengths: technology, communication, sharing, sharing, sharing: my goal is to support you

Mickaël has a perfect mastery of Kubernetes and Cluster API. His interpersonal skills are excellent, and he is capable of looking at the big picture as well as diving into details to solve problems. Beyond Kubernetes, his solid system and network knowledge allows him to intervene effectively on related subjects. Finally, he is organized and methodical: I highly recommend him.
