Paris, France
I build production-oriented systems across infrastructure, backend services, automation, and AI workflows. My focus is on work that is understandable, auditable, deployable, and maintainable once it reaches real users and real operations.
I care about the handoff from idea to system: design, delivery, observability, and the operational details that keep software reliable. I also bring a teaching and communication background, which helps when explaining technical decisions clearly to both engineers and non-engineers.

| Area | What I work on |
|---|---|
| Platform Engineering | Internal platforms, deployment workflows, infrastructure patterns, and the systems that help teams ship reliably. |
| Cloud & DevOps | Containers, CI/CD, GitOps, infrastructure automation, and operational tooling. |
| Backend Systems | APIs, services, data flow, authentication, integration logic, and maintainable application design. |
| Applied AI | Local LLM workflows, structured automation, orchestration, and practical AI systems that fit into operations. |
| Security-Aware Engineering | Compliance-minded design, evidence tracking, safer defaults, and systems that are easier to audit. |
| Technical Education | Teaching, explanation, mentoring, and turning technical work into something other people can use and understand. |
