At Nacon, I am designing and implementing the new liveops platform for all the group's game studios.

My role covers cloud architecture, DevOps, and backend development:

- Cloud-native infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform (GKE & Cloud Run) to ensure scalable, resilient, and performant workloads.

- CI/CD pipelines for fast and reliable deployments — built with GitLab CI and managed via FluxCD using a GitOps approach.

- Secret and policy management, with External Secrets Operator for secure secret synchronization, and Kyverno for policy enforcement and control.

- Backend development in Go (Golang) to design robust and modular microservices for live operations.

I work closely with technical teams to automate workflows, reduce delivery friction, and maintain a high level of operational excellence across all environments.

As a Cloud Architect within the Automation team at Orange Business Services, I participated in the implementation of a Kubernetes-based platform for enterprise clients, supporting them in their transition to the cloud and automation.

My responsibilities included:

- Designing and writing Kyverno policies and global policies to enhance security and compliance.

- Implementing continuous deployments in GitOps via Flux CD.

- Improving continuous integration pipelines to optimize reliability and developer experience.

- Creating and maintaining production-ready Docker images.

- Writing and managing Terraform configurations to deploy and maintain cloud-native infrastructure.

I worked closely with internal teams and clients to deliver automated, secure, and scalable solutions in complex environments.

As an architect, I'm in charge of the technical line of the projects for the Atos Sud-Est Division. I help managers and commercials to do financial estimations for the pre-sales projects and I write architectural studies to propose multiple scenarii at different costs for our clients.I'm also in charge of the Devops part and evangelize the teams to this culture. I help the teams to set up their CI/ CD pipelines and their Kubernetes clusters. Lastly, I've written an interface to manage the infrastructure, centralize security and watch assets status.

- Architectural studies

- Pre-Sales studies and estimates

- Continuous Integration & Deployment (Build, Functional tests, Code Analysis, Continuous deployment)

- Write terraform modules for GCP (Infrastructure as code)

- DevSecOps (KICS, Kube Hunter, Kube Bench, SonarQube, Trivy...)

- Creation of a interface to manage the infrastructure, centralize security and watch assets status (VueJs, Vuetify, Golang, Kubernetes)

- OnPrem Kubernetes administration (Rancher, microk8s...)
