Experiences

- Deploy Infrastructure on OVH Cloud
- Supervision under Prometheus and Grafana
- Deploy and manage MongoDB and ElasticSearch Clusters
- I heavily use Ansible to automate tasks across different platforms.

- Deploy Infrastructure on OVH Public Cloud / Scaleway
- Install and configure OpenStack
- Automate deployments via tools like Rudder, Rundeck, Gitlab-CI, Terraform, Packer
- Supervision under Zabbix and Prometheus / Grafana
- Guides development teams towards a PaaS solution like Clever Cloud so that they can focus on their developer job

I am an experienced teacher trainer offering specialised courses and workshops on the use of modern technology in the classroom.
I teach about GNU/Linux administration ; IT Automation ; Security ; Network Administration ; OVH Cloud.

I supervised a team of 6 developers. I took charge of project management and liaised between my team and our clients.
In parallel, I was in charge of setting up CI / CD tools (OVH CDS, Jenkins and Rundeck), as well as production management through the use of tools like Rudder, Terraform, Zabbix, Grafana, Loki.
My most interesting project was the design and deployment of the hosting infrastructure for a healthcare application in a health data host environment at OVH.

My mission is to help developer teams spending more time on their core role => developing software.
Over the years, I met many of them spending time deploying and managing hosting infra (install applications, backup, monitoring) while they should stay focus on coding.
This is why a PaaS solution such as CleverCloud is perfect for them. Whenever they need to push their applications online, they only need to push their code on Github and CleverCloud will then automatise the OPS part.
I will train and monitor them on PaaS services, so they won’t have to worry about infra tasks.
