Designing and implementing enterprise-grade multi-cloud solutions for a digital business leader in managed technology services. From landing zones to production-ready infrastructure — built for scale, security, and resilience.
~/about
My interest in computer science started back in 2015, setting up automations and a website for a Franco-Finnish virtual community — an unlikely first project that pulled me straight into cloud technologies.
Today I work at a digital business leader in managed technology services and multi-cloud solutions, designing and implementing enterprise infrastructure across the United States, France, the UAE, Qatar, and Lebanon.

Selected infrastructure with real stakes — hover a card for what’s under the hood.
Featured Landing Zone
Landing Zone cloud infrastructure implementation for one of the biggest sporting events in the world. Designed scalable, secure architecture to handle massive global traffic and real-time data processing.
Under the hood: hub-and-spoke topology, policy-driven guardrails, segmented networking, and telemetry designed for tournament-scale traffic — infrastructure that had one chance to get it right.
Enterprise
A host pool of 10+ multi-session VMs with FSLogix for 110+ users — start/stop and notification system linked to the Microsoft 365 calendar, AD Domain Services, file shares backed up through Acronis, and bastion-accessible servers.
Calendar-aware automation keeps the host pool lean outside working hours, while FSLogix profiles, AD DS, and Acronis-backed shares keep every session seamless and safe.
Infrastructure
Test, production, and disaster-recovery environments: app services, CI/CD pipelines, databases, storage, key vaults, notification hubs, API Management, application gateways, Front Door, Event Hub streaming, servers, site-to-site connections, and load testing.
Three mirrored environments promoted through CI/CD, fronted by Application Gateway and Front Door, and validated with load testing before every release.
