Lead DevOps / Cloud Architect
Stack/Tools: NodeJs, React, PHP, MongoDB, AWS, Kubernetes, ELK, Datadog, Terraform, Docker, Packer, Ansible, Jenkins...
As Lead DevOps Cloud, I am in charge of designing and building infrastructures (IaaS, PaaS).
I help the client to choose the right solution while taking into consideration the existing infrastructure,the need and of course costs.
All infrastructures are built on AWS using tools like Terraform, Ansible, Packer Git, KOPS. Versioning infrastructure makes it reusable, scalable and easily shareable among different teams.
We are on charge of monitoring using DataDog and Zabbix.
While implementing infrastructure, I was also in charge of some other components such as Docker,
Jenkins, Rundeck, Apache, Nginx, MongoDB, ElasticSearch, Logstash, Kibana, Grafana,
HaProxy, Varnish, MySQL...etc

Devops / AdminSys
As a single System Engineer in the department, I had a multi-task position which includes to handle :
Systems, Security and Network.
I was in charge of new system deployment and maintenance, mainly Linux. All the infrastructure was monitored with Nagios and Zabbix.
All system deployment was made through Ansible Playbooks which are versioned with Git-Lab
The infrastructure was composed of 2 load-balancer HAProxy, 6 web-servers Tomcat and a cluster
of Oracle Database
I was also working with around 25 Developers to help them in their daily work in different environment :
Test, Pre-production and Production. We work together to architect, design, build and secure the
solution.
I also implemented the ELK stack (ElasticSearch, Logstash and Kibana) to help developers easily
debugging their code.
The plateform was PCI-DSS compliant, documentation and updates were required for this part. Any
single changes in the infrastructure had to be documented.
Being PCI-DSS compliant requires to have a secure infrastructure, I was working on Juniper and
PfSence as firewall and I have setup a weekly vulnerability scan using Kali.
All files transiting through our exchange plateform (CFT and ProftPD) were encrypted.
Our main database, Oracle, was fully encrypted.

System and Network Administrator
I started as a Technical IT to provide support level 1 and 2 over the telephone, remotely and face to face to internal staff members for 44 properties in Europe (around 800 users). I had in charge the
administration and maintenance of Laptops, Workstation, Printers....etc.
6 months later, I joined the infrastructure team to administrate and maintain the infrastructure
(ESXI, VMWare, DNS, DHCP, Active Directory, MySQL, MsSQL, Nginx..etc) across all properties.
We were on charge of whole IT Architecture: Systems, Network, Security and Support.
I had the opportunity to participate to many different projects such as deployment of Wifi over all
properties using AeroHive, configuring a second Domain Controller for fault tolerance, network
monitoring using Eyes Of Network (Cacti, Nagios, Nagvis, WeatherMap).
We were using Juniper as firewall and Cisco as switchs. We were on charge of installation and
configuration of all the network component (Firewall rules, VPN, Vlans, Trunk...etc)
All backups were done using BackupPC and BackupExec.
