Azure .NET Technical Leader with over 15 years of experience in software development and systems architecture, specialized in the Microsoft ecosystem and Cloud technologies.

My career has enabled me to support major companies such as L'Oréal, EDF, Chanel, Société Générale, Manitou, and Franprix in their digital transformation and information systems modernization.

Rigor, organization, optimization, maintainability, standardization, and curiosity are the six values that guide my development approach. As an architectural consultant, I ensure the quality, sustainability, and scalability of developed solutions.

"Architecture is the foundation of applications, let's protect it!"

Passionate about innovation, I constantly seek technical challenges to improve application performance and optimize development processes. My expertise covers the entire value chain: architectural design, implementation, DevOps, and optimization.

Specialized in Azure Cloud Computing, microservices architecture, CI/CD, and Terraform, I work on Cloud migration projects, IoT platforms, DataHubs, and architecture optimization. As a Technical Leader, I support teams in skill development, participate in recruitment, and contribute to technical expertise promotion. Member of the Microsoft CoE at onepoint, I hold the "Sharing" referent role.

Advocate of Agile methodologies and former Scrum Master, I favor a collaborative approach enabling quick adaptation and regular value delivery.
