My mission As a member of the Cloud Competence Center - Public Clouds Team, actively participate to smooth the transition of the organization to the Cloud The projects I worked on • [Security][AWS] Automation and deployment (Terraform, Gitlab) of Amazon GuardDuty within AWS Organization (100+ accounts) • [Security][AWS] Automation and deployment (Terraform, Gitlab) of Amazon Inspector within the AWS Organization • [Security][Google] Automation and deployment of Cloud Data Loss Prevention on Google Organization • [Security] Setup Service Control Policies (SCP) to prevents accounts in the Organization from buying from the Marketplace • [Design Solutions][AWS] Validate architecture designs for new projects and provide estimated costs per environment • [Design Solutions] Industrializing MongoDB Atlas in Worldline environment with AWS, Google, and Azure clouds o Create Terraform module to deploy a MongoDB Atlas cluster with VPC peering (Atlas VPC <-> AWS | Google | Azure VPC) o Automate MongoDB cluster monitoring with serverless function o Develop a Python module with resources that deliver the monitoring feature o Develop a Python module to deliver authentication and authorization o Develop a Python module to export the monthly spends of each MongoDB account/project for each Cloud provider • [Budget][AWS | Google] Automate the process of creating a Budget on each accounts/project • [Training] Delivering several workshops to enable Business Units to the use of the Public Cloud Accounts created for them. Also showing these entities ow to do IaC (Infrastructure as Code) using Terraform and GitLab. How to take advantage of Terraform/Python modules • [Support] Provide assistance and guidance to Business Units for the use of Cloud Services or tools available

My mission • Assist organizations for a smooth transition to the Cloud by following the Cloud Adoption Framework • Set expectations and define the migration strategy • Work with the organization to choose the design that meets their requirements • Create the Proof of Concept (PoC) environment for validation • Assist the organization during the deployment phase The projects I worked on • Migrating a MySQL database to Amazon DynamoDB database o Thorough analysis of the customer's concerns (Performance - Resilience - Security) regarding the migration of the "on-premises" application to the Amazon Cloud o Implementation of Amazon DynamoDB with the appropriate number of Read Capacity Units and Write Capacity Units + AutoScaling to adjust the tables' capacity when there is a heavy load o Implementation of Lambda to trigger the replication of updates to Amazon ES o Continuous Backup and Synchronous replication on 3 AZ (Availability Zones) o The configuration is scripted to be deployed on three environments (Development, Test, Production) using CloudFormation o Create dashboards with a set of metrics for the monitoring • Improve the reliability of a web application infrastructure and service o The web server is running on Amazon EC2 with an Elastic Load Balancer in front and Amazon DynamoDB as database tier. o This solution was implemented by decoupling the components and using health checks. • Querying a data lake on Amazon S3 o The solution is using AWS Glue and Amazon Athena to process the data and make it available for BI tools • Troubleshooting VPC issues using VPC flow logs • Troubleshooting connectivity issues with Security Groups and NACLs • Multiple PoCs (Proof of Concept)

My mission and projects • Life cycle management of the Storage Infrastructure o 35 High Availability virtualization cluster installed on Fujitsu Primergy RX2530M2, RX2540M4 o All 35 clusters are attached to Fujitsu storage arrays Eternus DX200 S3/S4, DX600 S3/S4 o A total of 105 storage arrays • Online migration of 92 SAN Clients (ESX Hypervisors [Thousands of virtual machines], Solaris clients, Xen servers) from an old Dual-Fabric to a new Dual-Fabric o Changing Virtualization servers HBA speed from 4/8 GB to 16 GB o Validating the migration scenario o Backend move was done in two phases (ahead of the maintenance day) o Frontend move was done during the maintenance day to minimize the risk. o SAN infrastructure built with Brocade Directors DCX8510 and X6 • Several other projects to maintain the storage virtualization infrastructure

My mission My role as a storage engineer was to participate in the storage team’s activities to ensure the high availability of the storage infrastructure of the Bank. My tasks were: - Investigate SAN and NAS issues - Perform the day-to-day administration of the NAS environment—made of multiple NetApp storage arrays on production site and the disaster Recovery site - Handle all NetApp arrays' firmware and software updates and storage provisioning to all business lines - Handle the administration of the SAN infrastructure and ensure the disk provisioning to all IT departments o The environment is made of multiple storage arrays on production and DR sites—EMC VNX, DMX, Clariion o Zoning configuration on various FC switches—Brocade, Cisco and McData o SAN clients were Solaris, Windows, Linux and AIX servers - Participate in Disaster Recovery Plan tests between different sites to ensure data availability in case of site outage. The projects I managed - The deployment of new NAS storage arrays—NetApp FAS Series in different Data-Centres of the company to be used for archiving. Data were replicated from one site to another o As the project leader, I had to coordinate all parties involved in order to have a successful deployment and to deliver on time o Prepare the environment for the deployment o Handle the network configuration, the storage configuration and storage provisioning - Disaster recovery automation o I've developed an automation tool—in Perl—to be used to failover and failback the NAS environment—made of NetApp arrays—between the production site and the disaster recovery sites

My mission - Ensure the administration of the NAS infrastructure—made of more than 30 NetApp Storage Arrays o Day-to-day administration and storage provisioning o Perform the storage firmware upgrade - Ensure the communication between the storage team and the Business lines The projects I managed - Implementation and deployment of the two Storage Resource Management platforms. The purpose was to have in the organization a platform that helps the management team to do the capacity planning in a more efficient way. I’ve build two platforms based on the following software: o Symantec Command Central o SUN Business Analytics - Development of several automation tools for NAS storage provisioning

My mission - Implementation and deployment of a Storage infrastructure monitoring tool (HP AppIQ) in order to monitor remotely customer's storage infrastructure via VPN The projects I managed - Deployment of a Microsoft Active Directory for the customer “Wildgen & Partners Luxembourg” - Deployment of a Microsoft Microsoft Exchange for the customer “Wildgen & Partners Luxembourg”

FirstNET was the first private Internet Service Provider in Benin/West Africa My role as technical manager was to lead the technical team working to provide internet access to main companies via a wireless network using Alvarion Technologies (BreezeCOM) and wireless LAN equipment (IEEE 802.11)
