Career Profile

I live near Paris and work as a platform engineer at PayFit, a cloud-based HR and payroll provider fully hosted on Amazon Web Services.

With over 15 years of experience in systems, networking and modern infrastructure, I design and evolve large-scale environments combining AWS, Kubernetes and automation, with a focus on solutions that fit how development teams work. Former SRE at Aircall and DevOps engineer at Mailjet, I have operated and improved business-critical production platforms.

I’m interested in new technology and free software.
