Within the Directorate General of Public Finance, I act as a Cloud Solutions Architect on critical projects for French public administration. I lead the design and operation of private and Cloud Native Cloud platforms (OpenStack, Kubernetes) supporting sensitive, high-availability application workloads.

I industrialize deployments through CI/CD pipelines, Docker containerization, and complete automation of build, test, and delivery cycles. I also develop and maintain backend business applications in Java and Python, integrated into containerized cloud architectures.

Beyond the technical aspect, I collaborate transversally with development, security, operations, and business teams, participating in architecture reviews and actively disseminating DevOps best practices within the teams.

As a specialized consultant, I support my clients' technical teams in developing their skills in DevOps and Cloud technologies. I provide consulting and training on Ansible, Docker, and Kubernetes, with a field-oriented approach and practical case studies.

I automate the creation of multi-cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, OpenStack) using Ansible and Terraform, and carry out POCs to validate technical solutions before their production deployment. I also provide Level 3 support for all these technologies, including networking, to ensure the continuity and performance of my clients' environments.

Within the BNP Paribas group, I was responsible for deploying and securing Vanilla Kubernetes clusters using Ansible playbooks, in a banking environment with demanding availability and compliance requirements.

I managed evolutions and fixes using Agile Scrum methodology via Jira backlog, while automating the management of High Availability (HA) services and Kubernetes resource monitoring. I also provided L3 support and security vulnerability correction for Kubernetes and OpenStack clusters, ensuring the robustness and security of the group's critical infrastructures.
