What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a permanent SRE or Cloud Platform role where I can own end-to-end reliability for large-scale, mission-critical systems and grow into a senior/staff-level engineering track.

At UTech, I own core GCP and Kubernetes infrastructure for a top-5 French mass retailer serving around 1,900 stores and 30 warehouses. I completed the migration from bare-metal Rancher clusters to GKE across a multi-region platform.

I define standards for networking, IAM, security, observability, resilience, and cost efficiency across 15 Kubernetes clusters and roughly 2,000 GCP projects. I also lead 10 SREs and serve as the escalation point for complex reliability, performance, and connectivity issues.

At Akeneo, I rebuilt a multi-tenant SaaS hosting platform on GKE, MySQL, Elasticsearch, and Datadog, cutting compute costs by about 30% while onboarding more customers. I also led zero-downtime search migration and built GitOps-based self-service environments.

Across AWS, GCP, and on-premises platforms, I've designed high-availability infrastructure, automation, observability, and secure delivery paths for banking, SaaS, and high-traffic web systems. I'm targeting a permanent SRE or Cloud Platform role where I can own end-to-end reliability for mission-critical systems and grow toward staff-level engineering.
