– Cloud Infrastructure: Designed and deployed Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) across dev, staging and production on AWS and OVH, reducing deployment time by 30%. Automated environment provisioning and teardown schedules, environments spun up each morning and destroyed at night, significantly cutting cloud costs. – Containerization & Orchestration: Deployed and managed containerized applications on Kubernetes using Helm charts to optimize scalability, availability, and resource utilization. – Monitoring & Agility: Implemented centralized monitoring with the ECK stack (Elasticsearch, Kibana, Beats) for incident analysis within an Agile DevOps team. – API Development - Smallbodies Project: Designed and developed RESTful APIs in Python/Flask for CNES's Smallbodies space project, aggregating scientific data from multiple external APIs into a unified interface to streamline data collection and processing.

– GEODES Project: Built and maintained a scientific web application for CNES (geodes.cnes.fr) covering the full lifecycle from functional analysis to production deployment, serving researchers across multiple CNES teams and reducing reported bugs by 40% through systematic TDD practices. – CI/CD & Automation: Implemented GitLab CI/CD pipelines and Docker containerization to automate testing and delivery, cutting manual deployment steps and reducing regression risk. – Quality & Agility: Applied TDD/unit testing practices to improve code stability and led Agile Scrum ceremonies (sprint planning, stand-ups, retrospectives) to optimize team delivery pace.

– Development & Quality: Developed and maintained a Java/Spring desktop application, implementing new REST API features and automating build processes via Bash scripts. Applied TDD/ATDD practices and code reviews within a Scrum team to ensure robust, maintainable code.
