Description

Infrastructure & Cloud Architect, I bring 18 years of experience in large accounts (La Poste), including 8 years dedicated to designing critical IaaS service architectures.

My hybrid profile – architect, technical lead, and consumable service designer – allows me to combine architectural vision, operational execution, and team support. This background, built on 12 years in the field (operations, backup, administration) and 6+ years in architecture, enables me to design truly operational solutions grounded in production reality.

I work on high-stakes issues: IaaS service architecture (consumable offers around the OS, self-service, industrialization), operational cybersecurity (EDR, SCAP hardening, patch management), backup and DRP (Rubrik, NetBackup, resilience strategies), and cloud hybridization (Azure, governance, compliance). My rigorous and results-oriented approach is complemented by an ability to structure, manage, and ensure the reliability of complex environments.

Some notable achievements:

- Design and industrialization of the Red Hat / CentOS OS migration factory — in production for 6,000 to 8,000 VMs

- Design of the IaaS self-service backup offer (Rubrik) — in production since 2017

- Implementation of Azure cloud governance and associated service offer — in production

- Lead technical approval of Databricks on Azure — validated in production
