About me

I'm 30 and I am based in Paris.

I am SVP Product Engineering for a French Cloud Provider (more than 100 000 servers, a lot of products, part of Global Top 10 Infrastructure Provider).

I started to code when I was 11. Mostly web development. I got involved in SPIP, an open-source community and developed some plugins in PHP. Some of them are still used by many websites.

After that, I went to an engineering school in Paris at 18. I did not enjoy the slow pace and prefered to learn more being an entrepreneur. So, I founded my own company: Cogit Studio. Within five years, we went from 0 to 550+ k€ in revenue, and up to 8 full-time employees. That was a challenging endeavour.

Willing to discover more about Ops and the Cloud ecosystem, I finally chose to join Scaleway. I still do code, but my main job switched to engineering management, and is more business oriented.

What I do:

• Web: JavaScript / ReactJS / Angular / HTML & CSS (of course) / WCAG / SVG
• Back: PHP / Golang / Objective-C / React Native / WordPress
• Ops: Docker / Swarm / Proxmox / ESXi / OpenStack / DNS / Debian / Shell / OpenVPN / Asterisk
• Tools: Terraform / Ansible / Nginx / Traefik / Apache / Prometheus / Grafana / ELK / Icinga
• Databases: MySQL / PostgreSQL / Redis / MongoDB
