Services

Senior DevOps Engineer | Cloud Solutions Architect | Automation & CI/CD Wizard | AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes | Fluent in English, French, and German.

Need your infrastructure to run like a well-oiled machine? I’m your go-to expert for automating, scaling, and securing cloud environments with a dash of humor and a lot of expertise. Here’s what I bring to the table:

🔧 Cloud Solutions Architecture

Designing, building, and fine-tuning cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP) so your systems are as scalable as your ambitions. Think of it like Lego for grown-ups – but in the cloud, with fewer tiny pieces to step on.

🚀 DevOps & CI/CD Pipelines

Speed up your development cycles and make deployments smooth as butter. I build fully automated CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, GitLab CI, CircleCI, and more. No more waiting around for code to ship – let’s get it live ASAP!

🛠 Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

Forget manual configurations – let’s codify your infrastructure with Terraform or CloudFormation. It’s like having a blueprint for your entire system, only better because it doesn't require an architect hat or hard hat.

📈 Monitoring & Optimization

Systems should just work, right? I’ll make sure yours are running like clockwork, with real-time monitoring and alerts so we know what’s going on under the hood – all without any unnecessary drama.

🤖 Automation & Configuration Management

If it’s repetitive, we can automate it! From Ansible to Puppet, I’ll help automate the boring stuff so your team can focus on the fun parts – like brainstorming next-gen features (or office snacks).

🌐 Multi-Cloud & Hybrid Cloud Solutions

Can’t pick between AWS, Azure, and GCP? Why not all three? I specialize in multi-cloud strategies that allow you to leverage the best of all platforms, while avoiding vendor lock-in and building in redundancy.

🛡 Security & Compliance

Security is non-negotiable. Whether it’s designing secure systems or ensuring compliance with GDPR or industry standards, I’ll keep your data safe, your systems resilient, and your auditors smiling.

With 20+ years of experience, I’ve built, scaled, and optimized systems for industries ranging from healthcare to IoT. Let’s transform your infrastructure into a seamless, automated ecosystem that grows with your business!

    FAQ

    Q: What is DevOps? 🤔

    A: Think of it as the ultimate teamwork between developers and operations, with automation as their secret weapon. Like a tech superhero duo!

    Q: Can you fix my Wi-Fi? 😅

    A: I could... but that's probably not the best use of my DevOps superpowers! (Have you tried turning it off and on again?)

    Q: What’s your favorite cloud provider? ☁️

    A: That's like asking a parent to pick their favorite child. But let's just say AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud all have their own special charms.

    Q: Can you automate my coffee machine? ☕

    A: If it’s programmable, I can probably automate it. But you'll still need to refill the beans yourself!

    Q: What’s your backup plan? 💾

    A: Always have at least three backups, in different locations. For life and data.

    Q: Why do we need DevOps anyway? 🤷

    A: Because manual processes are so last century! DevOps brings speed, reliability, and less time spent yelling at servers.
