About me

Senior Azure Cloud Architect with 8 years of experience. I design and deliver cloud and AI solutions for large enterprises (Orange, L'Oréal, Amadeus). I partner with technical and business stakeholders to translate Cloud and AI ambitions into production architectures: from architecting landing zones and application modernization to Generative AI adoption.

As Service Line Manager for Digital Technology, Cloud & AI at Capgemini, I lead pre-sales activity, scope GenAI use cases for our customers and drive technical proposals on competitive RFPs.

Hands-on expertise across Azure (Foundry, AKS, Container Apps, App Service, Cosmos DB, Azure SQL, APIM…), .NET, DevOps, combined with the ability to lead technical teams and advise C-level stakeholders.
