Adrien Danzon
@adriendanzon
Backend engineer and DevOps leader building scalable, observable cloud systems and game infrastructure.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Backend Engineer / DevOps Engineer who delivers scalable backend features with strong autonomy—implementing HTTP & WebSockets, zero-regression refactoring, and production-ready stability for high-concurrency launches (300,000+ CCU/Concurrent Users).
Across Ubisoft, Sloclap, SOPHIA GENETICS, and Stonal, I’ve architected automated load-testing and SRE observability (SLIs/SLOs, CloudWatch/Grafana/Prometheus/Loki), built CI/CD and infrastructure with Terraform/Helm/Kubernetes and AWS/Azure, and optimized costs with FinOps (over 50% DynamoDB savings).
