> Cloud Infrastructure Engineer

I build cloud infrastructure, automate everything that can be automated… and self-host the rest.

01. about

Passionate about computers for as long as I can remember, I'm a student at Epitech (information systems architecture, class of 2027) and an apprentice Cloud Infrastructure Engineer at Open Lake Technology, working on Azure infrastructure with Terraform and Terramate.

My common thread: digital independence. Rather than relying on big-tech services, I build, configure and maintain my own infrastructure — a full homelab with a Proxmox cluster, TrueNAS Scale storage and 10 Gbps networking. This portfolio runs on it.

From hardware to cloud, through networking and CI/CD: I like understanding the whole stack, not just one layer.
