About

Systems should be boring. Mountains shouldn't.

I'm an infrastructure engineer at heart. Today I lead a team of four at OVHcloud in Montréal — home since 2023, after a dozen years in Paris — but my happy place is still the engineering itself: designing platforms, automating everything that can be automated, and making systems boring in the best possible sense of the word.

I work the way an SRE does: infrastructure as code, small blast radius, observability first, and documentation people actually read. And I try to manage people the way I run systems — clear interfaces, sensible defaults, no single point of failure.
