  • Design and build a reporting system on GCP that analyse all the org policy in the organization, register them in Bigquery and then create a report via Cloud Datastudio. The services used were: Bigquery, cloud run, IAM, Datastudio
  • Design and build an alerting system at the organization leven that send an alert whenever forbidden IAM roles are granted
  • Implement a service account key rotation through the whole organization via an automated process
  • Design and build an application that grant people temporary access to a GCP group or GCS bucket and expose it as an API via APIGEE. The API has been design with a zero-trust mindset.
  • All the application has been build with terraform, python cloud function / cloud run, with cloud build as a CI/CD pipeline and Github triggers.

10/2021 - 12/2021
DevOps Engineer
Eulerhermes (Insurance, 5000-10.000 employees)

  • Architecture and build a new prometheus stack on AWS with HA in a single region. The stack was build with AWS Fargate, EFS, Docker, S3, DynamoDB, terraform and gitlab CI. This stack was used to monitor the whole fleet of application hosted by our team on AWS. In this stack we used blackbox, snowflake exporter, cloudwatch exporter, pushgateway and alert manager.
  • Management of a shared CI/CD pipeline used by other devops teams to facilitate application deployment for other teams.

11/2020 - 10/2021
Cloud engineer
LVMH (Other, >10.000 employees)

  • Created an automated process to bootstrap GCP projects depending on their type of workload (data, classic application or customs). Each type of processes will be created with its own sets of standard groups and their IAM permissions, terraform service accounts for each environment, the required APIs enabled and a bucket in which the teams working on the projects will store their terraform state and variables. The same process was implemented for Azure Cloud as we automated the creation on a landing zone which includes: subscriptions, resource groups, key vault, virtual networks and their subnets, user defined routes, network security group, application security groups, backup vault and a log analytic workspace
  • Automated the orchestration within virtual machines in azure via Ansible with a zero-trust approach. All the projects that required VMs on azure are created via terraform, hosted on projects on Gitlab with a gitlab-ci.yml file. Each time a commit is done the pipeline will be triggered. I Created specific gitlab runners on azure that have a managed identity. This managed identity will have restricted permissions to open/close network flows. When ansible run within a CI/CD pipeline, the runner will open the flow, run the ansible playbook on the targeted VMs, then close the flows.
  • Applied a tag policy within each of the terraform module to enforce the billing's insights
  • Created a serverless application on Azure which enables to transfer VMs from one subscription to another with Azure functions (python), Storage accounts and Backup Vaults
  • Create a transverse composer (orchestrator for the data team) that will be able to fetch datas from different data lakes and warehouses then process them
  • Teached best practices to use Terraform, create documentations within the companies to help people to understand better what Infrastructure as Code is
  • Participated in the migration of almost 60 website within 20 VMs from an old hosting platform to GCP and create all the required network architecture within GCP for those website. I had to secure the flows between applications, create multiple VPN connected to other projects or on-premise datacenter, create a VPC peering and a custom proxy that NAT ip address at the source and the destination
