About Romain

Senior infrastructure architect — 20+ years, 86 missions, 100% satisfied clients.

I support SMEs and mid-sized companies in their infrastructure transformations: network, security, telephony, cloud — and now operational AI integration into business processes.

What I bring that others don't:

An architect's vision, not just troubleshooting: I design infrastructures that last 5 years
Field experience from 86 Malt missions (5/5 on 66 reviews) — SMEs, startups, industry
The ability to concretely integrate AI into your IS: automated agents, LLM orchestration, document automation, business conversational AI

My areas of expertise:

Network architecture and audit (LAN/WAN/Wi-Fi) — Cisco, HPE/Aruba, Ubiquiti
Cybersecurity — Stormshield/pfSense/OPNsense firewalls, segmentation, audit
Business telephony — 3CX (certified Advanced Engineer, Gold partner), VoIP migration
Cloud & virtualization — Proxmox, Docker, Traefik, AWS, GCP
Applied AI — AI agent integration, workflow automation, RAG on internal documentation
