Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

Tech Lead DevOps/Ops and Cloud Architect, I have been supporting critical Linux, OpenStack, and OpenShift platforms in production for over 10 years, with a strong focus on security, resilience, and industrialization.

I manage and upskill teams (up to 20 engineers), structure practices (critical documentation, runbooks, post-mortems, OPS COPs), and lead transformations (Build/Run merger, SRE team). My Red Hat certifications (OpenShift Admin 4.10, RHCA) and innovation work (SIP patent, 1st Orange Business prize) illustrate my technical commitment and ability to deliver in sensitive contexts.
