Back to original languageAbout Thomas
Tech Lead, DevOps, SRE, Platform Engineer... Whatever the title, my goal remains the same: to help you deliver faster and more often 🚀, while improving the quality of your product 💪.
I offer 10 years of experience as a freelancer for targeted, high-value, time-limited (3 to 12 months) missions.
My expertise covers the entire DevOps/SRE spectrum: Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS, GitLab CI, Ansible, Docker, monitoring and observability, security... I am also accustomed to legacy and/or highly regulated environments (banking, pharma).
As each situation is unique, I pragmatically apply DevOps best practices and tools adapted to your context.
My usual missions:
- Containerization and migration of legacy applications to the cloud
- Creation and leadership of Platform or Digital Factory teams
- Support for growing teams
- Technical debt remediation: observability, automated testing, refactoring
- Tech lead
