Kubernetes/Docker & DevOps Expertise. AWS Cloud Mastery - Certified Architect.

Within the SAFe train named “La Fabriq’”, responsible for Legacy execution platforms (Mainframe), I contributed to work on critical components such as:

• the internally developed transactional monitor (in C language),

• the security of batch processes,

• the development and testing tools provided to developers for realization, testing, and deployment.

One of the upcoming structuring projects is the technical migration (with iso-functionalities) of the DBMS engine and client across all iMSA business contexts.

In parallel, I actively participated in innovation sprints, particularly on DevAIops projects integrating artificial intelligence (LLM, automation, code analysis), with the goal of exploring new optimization levers for software development and maintenance chains.

I joined the IT Services company Open in 2023 to apply my skills to strategic projects in the IT sector, while also acting as a technical consultant for major clients.

In addition to my operational missions, I am also involved in the technical validation of candidates wishing to join the company as consultants. This transversal role involves a thorough assessment of technical skills, particularly in DevOps, automation, and system administration, as well as support in selecting profiles that match our clients' needs.

As part of my mission for INRAE, I worked on setting up a high-availability (HA) Rundeck platform to orchestrate complex automation processes, using Ansible and Bash scripts. This platform enables automatic provisioning of virtual machines, IP address allocation, and dynamic registration in DNS and reverse DNS, while ensuring seamless integration with the VMWare infrastructure via vCenter.

To ensure robustness and maintainability, I also contributed to modernizing existing systems by rewriting historical Bash scripts into modular Ansible roles or Python scripts, which are better suited to current DevOps practices and facilitate integration into CI/CD automation pipelines.
