01 / Selected work

Engineering stories,
not a list of tools.

Problems worth solving. Decisions with consequences. Results that changed how teams shipped.

01

Paris 2024 / Mobile delivery

Mobile CI/CD at scale

Built a dependable delivery system for mobile teams across AWS, Jenkins and Fastlane.

Outcome

40% faster releases
  • AWS
  • Jenkins
  • Fastlane
02

Cloud foundation / GCP

GCP Landing Zone

Created a repeatable cloud foundation across clusters, identity, networking and infrastructure as code.

Outcome

80% less manual effort · ~30% lower infrastructure cost
  • GKE
  • Terraform
  • IAM
  • Networking
03

Release engineering

60+ microservices, one release view

Automated release and tag aggregation, then connected it to predictable staging workflows.

Made boring

Release coordination at service-fleet scale
  • Automation
  • Git
  • CI/CD
04

Developer platform / Azure

Self-service AKS platform

Built a CLI-driven path for teams to provision and deploy without waiting in a platform-team queue.

Shift

From tickets to team autonomy
  • AKS
  • CLI
  • Platform API
05

Developer experience

Jenkinsfile generator

Turned pipeline onboarding into an API-driven workflow with consistent delivery conventions.

Outcome

Multi-day setup reduced to minutes
  • Jenkins
  • Python
  • API
problem→architecture→decision→implementation→result

02 / Experience

Built in serious rooms.

The compact version. The interesting details belong in the engineering stories.

Architecture beneath the hype cycle.
NextCI/CD

How we cut CI build time from 14 minutes to 7

A practical performance story.

NextAI for engineers

GitHub Copilot: PR → Production

Where assistance ends and engineering begins.

NextTerraform

Terraform patterns I use in real platforms

Patterns that survive real operating conditions.

NextPlatform engineering

About the human

Building systems.
Swimming when I get the time.
Collecting watches and fragrances.
Reading things unrelated to Kubernetes.
Occasionally opening a production alert I should have ignored. 🙂
SP

Engineer by practice.
Curious by default.
