About Me

Engineer by craft,
Paris by choice.

I'm a DevOps / Cloud Engineer with 5 years of experience on Azure, specialising in Kubernetes (AKS), Terraform, and CI/CD. I design, deploy, and operate secure, scalable, and high-performance Azure infrastructures.

Deep expertise in Infrastructure as Code, deployment automation, and cloud and data platform management (Azure Data Factory, Databricks). I work in production environments (BUILD & RUN) with a focus on reliability, observability, and continuous improvement.

Based in Paris, Île-de-France. Fluent in French and English.
