Experience

RetakeData | Independent SRE & Infrastructure Consultant | Aug 2026 - Present

  • Advise and deliver architecture, reliability, observability and infrastructure modernisation work for private and hybrid platforms.
  • Build operating models and automation that let engineering teams understand, run and own their infrastructure.
  • Scope work across observability, Proxmox and Kubernetes platforms, migrations, performance, cost optimisation and private AI infrastructure.

Kindred France | Site Reliability Engineer | Jul 2023 - Aug 2026

  • Operated and improved a multi-TB/day observability platform using Grafana, Loki, Thanos, Vector and Elastic for regulated, high-traffic services, including major event workloads.
  • Designed RUM and APM capabilities to expose application and user-experience bottlenecks.
  • Defined SLIs, SLOs, alerting and incident-response practices with development teams from the design stage.
  • Automated recurring operational workflows with Python and built tooling for Grafana housekeeping, query performance analysis and reliability reporting.
  • Prototyped an RBAC-aware AI assistant for Grafana diagnostics and incident investigation.

Kindred France | System Engineer | Sep 2020 - Jul 2023

  • Designed an end-to-end VM delivery factory from Git request to monitored production across VMware vSphere, Proxmox and OpenStack.
  • Built reusable Terraform and Jenkins workflows across 10 datacenters. NetBox and Consul supplied inventory and service discovery; Ansible handled deployment; Vault secured credentials and supported platform hardening.
  • Supported 2,000+ active VMs and thousands of provisioning, migration and redeployment operations while reducing manual work and deployment tickets.
  • Designed and operated Proxmox/Ceph HA infrastructure across 2 datacenters, 4 racks and approximately 30 hosts with 25 GbE networking, live migration and PXE provisioning.
  • Operated an Elastic/Kafka estate managing approximately 1 PB of logs for SIEM, EDR, APM, network and system telemetry, uptime and SLO monitoring.
  • Developed a Go Terraform provider for Centreon API V2, with automated tests, CI/CD, releases and documentation.

VINC SAS | Systems & Network Administrator, Apprenticeship | Sep 2018 - Sep 2020

  • Designed and deployed production infrastructure across two datacenters, including BGP routing, firewalls, HA DNS and network services.
  • Administered Proxmox production clusters and handled incidents, SLAs and customer communication through to resolution.
  • Delivered hosting and infrastructure solutions from requirements and architecture through production rollout.

Earlier technical experience | 2016 - 2018: Azuria, YL-Partner and independent systems/network assignments covering datacenter rack deployment, HA VPN and DNS services, hosting automation and RIPE API-based network tooling.

Selected engineering work

Infrastructure delivery factory

Six-stage Git-to-production workflow combining Terraform, Jenkins, NetBox, Consul, Ansible, HAProxy and monitoring. It standardised provisioning across multiple infrastructure platforms and reduced repeated manual operations.

SRE operational tooling

Built tools that audit stale or broken Grafana resources, measure query latency across observability backends and standardise SLO dashboards for engineering teams.

Open source

  • terraform-provider-centreon : Go provider that manages Centreon monitoring through Terraform and API V2.
  • SSHplex : Python terminal UI for SSH host discovery, multiplexing, broadcast commands and persistent sessions using NetBox, Ansible or Consul inventories.

Private AI infrastructure

Hands-on work with GPU hosting, vLLM/Ollama, RAG pipelines and PostgreSQL/pgvector for self-hosted operational AI, with an emphasis on access control and keeping sensitive data inside the organisation.
