At ConnectED-Labs, I own the production Kubernetes platform on GCP and migrated production workloads from AWS to GCP. I designed its monorepo and GitOps pipelines, reducing deployment errors by 40% and accelerating release cycles by 25%.

I improved platform reliability through observability, autoscaling, and capacity work, and optimized cloud costs by right-sizing workloads against usage baselines. I also cut build times from 40 minutes to 5 and replaced direct production MongoDB access with a governed analytics pipeline.

At Business Intelligence Agency SAS, I led development of client-facing applications and designed architectures that improved reliability through PostgreSQL replication. I built a secure BIAPAY payment module and architected ELK Stack data pipelines; I also teach Python programming, scripting, and automation at Collège Boréal.
