About Simon

Azure Cloud Architect, Devops and AI Engineer

Consultant IT for over 10 years, I support CIOs with their Azure, DevSecOps, ALM, and AI challenges. My .NET developer background informs my practice: I design CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure as code with the real-world constraints of the teams using them in mind.
For nearly 4 years, I led the industrialization of an Azure DevOps software factory for over 700 application projects: pipeline standardization, IaC, Cloud governance, team support.
Today, I work on projects that combine this ALM/DevSecOps foundation with the challenges of AI industrialization: integrating Azure AI services (Foundry, Document Intelligence), processing large volumes of documents, decision support, application modernization. I primarily operate on the Microsoft stack, from infrastructure to application and AI layers.
Rigorous and pragmatic, my assignments with major clients have exposed me to the realities of the field: governance constraints, legacy systems, multiple stakeholders, aligning technical choices with business priorities.
