Experience

Audit Management from Industry-leading French Companies

While I was Keley Group's CIO, my first mission was to build infrastructures, teams, and processes from scratch which had to be reviewed a year later by industry-leading French companies. These companies were some of Keley's most important customers, and they required very high security standards in order to keep doing business with us, so this was a critical mission, though our available budget was less than 40% of what specialized advisory teams recommended.

I managed to create and design totally brand-new sets of security policies, network architectures, and technical infrastructures which had never existed before (as far we know) in order to meet the requirements.

This mission was a success since Keley's customers validated their audit and we stayed within budget.

Our competitors either gave up or went bankrupt while trying to respect customer requirements, so this mission allowed Keley to position itself as the uncontested leader in this market, being the only organization to pass the audits.

Metro Group France Instrastructure Creation

While I worked at Teclib, I designed and built a complete IaaS setup with VMware products for Metro Group France. It was their new infrastructure, which will be used to provide every IT service to the company, replacing an older one.

I designed and built this infrastructure especially with FT/HA, SSO, vMotion, Orchestrator, vCloud Director, and other VMware products.

Metro Group was able to charge other business units with the monitoring and automatic billing configuration I configured after migrating the older servers.

Official French Lawyer Email System

When I worked for Teclib group, I had the chance to design and build the official French lawyers' email system. This project had not only to be secure but had to meet very special requirements, which were very interesting challenges to resolve while working to keep the expenses at targeted levels.

International Multi-cloud Infrastructure

I migrated the production services of a customer to a scalable infrastructure I build that can be run on any cloud provider of his choice and in any country with automatic provisioning (infrastructure as code), autoscaling, and high security standards in less than 6 months. This customer's users were more than 30 leading eCommerce companies from France which integrate these services directly to their websites, so this infrastructure was business critical.
