Cloud expert guiding customers through successful transitions to the cloud by addressing key strategic and technical areas:

• Designed cloud infrastructures meeting specific business requirements, including landing zones and cloud-ready architectures.
• Planned cloud adoption and migration strategies, assessing current infrastructure and defining new processes.
• Secured environments by auditing infrastructure against security frameworks (CIS, CSA) and implementing necessary policies.
• Optimized cloud usage (FinOps) by analyzing consumption, identifying billing optimization opportunities, and reducing waste.

My role for Klanik is to endorse both consulting and internal activities

• Cloud consultant @ CMA CGM : during this project I had several roles within the fast-moving Cloud Center Of Excellence :
  - Cloud architect : I designed and validated cloud architectures for both business projects and landing zones components (network, backup, authentication, log management etc)
  - FinOps lead : I started the FinOps initiative by implementing the tagging policy and tracking the associated compliance. With a small team, we started to educate project teams and managers on the FinOps culture.We also tested tools and implemented Cloudability to provide dashboards to all cloud consumers.We analyzed and proposed Saving Plans and changes to architectures to optimise the cloud bill.
  - Cloud advisor : This role was very broad and allowed me to be involved in many aspects of the cloud transformation. I work and evangelised on the definition of the Target Operating models aligned with Cloud architecture models to be able to standardise our cloud adoption approach and the way we would operate applications with partners in the future. I also had the chance to work on a new team structure to be able to implement agile methodologies with a product-based approach to create autonomous teams that can deliver faster. I was also responsible to follow the cloud security and compliance area to implement all necessary checks and guardrails to secure our cloud infrastructure.
