Who I am ?

Senior Software Architect | Expert in Mission-Critical & High-Availability Systems | Freelance Consultant

As a freelance senior software architect, I support companies—particularly in demanding sectors such as aeronautics and defense—in the design, audit, and optimization of their complex software architectures.

My approach is focused on robustness, security, and scalability, with a strong DevOps culture and a strong interest in demanding technical environments. I combine technical expertise, systems vision, and the ability to onboard teams, including offshore teams, in Agile contexts.

What I do specifically :

  • Designing high-availability software architectures in environments with high constraints (security, performance, compliance)
  • Auditing existing solutions and providing concrete recommendations to improve software quality and system maintainability
  • Implementing integrated DevOps pipelines (GitHub, Jenkins, Artifactory, Jira, Confluence, etc.)
  • Technical coordination of international teams (particularly in India)
  • Using standards such as ArchiMate for architecture modeling

Key skills : Software architecture, DevOps, ArchiMate, IT audit, High availability, Security, Aeronautics, Defense, Agile/Scrum methodology, Offshore delivery

12 years of experience as a development engineer/tech lead
3 years as a software architect on Airbus projects with significant cybersecurity implications.

I particularly enjoy challenges, discovering new languages, new ways of working, and constantly challenging my skills by participating in innovative projects.

I am a certified Scrum Master and Safe Agilist, which allows me to be effective in an agile environment.

My PDF CV is available in the link (french) and this site details my experiences a little more

My little story

I graduated in 2010 from the Polytech Montpellier (formerly ISIM) engineering school with a Master’s degree in Computer Science and Management (BAC +5).

I then worked as an independent design and development engineer for major corporations for five years (Airbus, Vivendi, Snef).

In 2016, I joined Komax France as a project manager/tech lead. I worked on several projects focused primarily on the design and industrialization of new digital products, as well as artificial intelligence and IoT.

From development on Raspberry Pi to managing strategic projects with several companies within the group, my functional skills, combined with my technical expertise, have allowed me to be highly versatile.

In June 2021, I obtained my SCRUM Master PSM1 certification, which I was able to implement on several projects.

As well as my Safe Agilist certification

Since March 2022, in search of new challenges, I decided to return to freelance IT development. My first role as a Java tech lead quickly turned into a software architect. In an environment with high cybersecurity constraints (military data), I had to adapt to understand all the facets of the architect’s profession, which was previously unknown to me.

With this experience, I wish to continue in this direction and am available for your projects as an architect.

Tech startup founders, please also feel free to contact me. I’m also interested in pursuing a career as a startup CTO.
