## About

```text
At Capgemini, I develop and maintain REST APIs in Java and Spring Boot for an API modernization project serving a major French public-sector client. I write unit and white-box tests, and contribute to integration and interface testing.

I document test cases and work in Jira Xray and Confluence, generate test datasets with Cucumber, and deliver through Jenkins CI/CD pipelines. I also work with MariaDB and collaborate through GitLab merge requests and code reviews.

On my personal blog platform project, I’m building a Java 21 and Spring Boot back end with PostgreSQL and separate development, pre-production, and live environments. I’m also setting up a CI pipeline and hybrid hosting, with a self-hosted API and database and a static site served publicly through Cloudflare.

I administer a Debian 12 server running containerised services with Docker Compose, including Nextcloud, Immich, and Jellyfin. My background also includes client-facing roles in France, Japan, and Spain, and I work across French, English, and Spanish-speaking teams.
