About Me
Passionate DevOps engineer dedicated to building scalable, secure cloud solutions
Transforming Infrastructure with Azure DevOps Excellence
I'm a seasoned DevOps and Cloud Engineer with over 8 years of hands-on experience specializing in Microsoft Azure cloud solutions. My expertise lies in designing flexible, efficient, and secure cloud infrastructures that scale with business needs.
Throughout my career, I've worked with industry leaders including AXA, BNP Paribas, and Société Générale, where I've successfully led complex cloud migration projects and implemented robust CI/CD pipelines that streamline development workflows.
My approach combines deep technical expertise in Terraform, Kubernetes, and Azure services with a strong focus on automation and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles. I believe in creating solutions that not only solve immediate challenges but also provide long-term value and maintainability.
When I'm not architecting cloud solutions, you'll find me sharing knowledge through technical articles on Medium, contributing to the DevOps community, and staying up-to-date with the latest cloud technologies.
