AWS CLOUD ARCHITECT | FINOPS | SRE

France

I am a cloud architect and senior SRE/FinOps practitioner with 12+ years of experience in software engineering, designing, building, and operating enterprise platforms on AWS. I specialize in secure multi-account foundations, infrastructure as code, container and serverless platforms, CI/CD, GitOps, observability, and production readiness. I bring a FinOps mindset to architecture decisions by standardizing infrastructure, improving resource and storage efficiency, and designing scalable, cost-conscious operations. I work comfortably from architecture through implementation, troubleshooting, documentation, and coaching engineering teams, with hands-on experience across AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, GitLab CI, Datadog, Grafana, Prometheus, and cloud security governance.

I own the target architecture and roadmap for a multi-account AWS platform supporting multiple API Gateway initiatives. I define governance, reusable Terraform and GitLab CI patterns, SRE observability across EC2 and ECS, generative AI architecture with AWS Bedrock, and secrets management with HashiCorp Vault and IAM. I embed FinOps into service selection, capacity planning, scaling, and infrastructure decisions.

I implemented GitOps workflows with Argo CD, Flux, and AWS ACK and developed observability solutions with Datadog, Grafana, and Node.js. I automated release monitoring and AWS resource provisioning with GitLab CI and Terraform, contributed to PCI-DSS-aligned infrastructure, and improved Kubernetes logging with Fluent Bit. I also supported EKS microservices with Docker and Istio and led a Git-to-Git-LFS migration that improved storage efficiency and repository performance.
