🚀 About me

Solution Architect based in Paris 🇫🇷 — ~10 years building enterprise Dynamics 365 CE + Power Platform solutions and 5+ years on Azure. I focus on shipping reliable, well-architected systems: clean integrations, hardened security, and patterns that survive contact with production.

• ☁️ Currently focused on Azure architecture & IaC (Terraform, Web Apps, Functions) and D365 + Power Platform security (Managed Identity, VNet integration, hardened outbound integrations)
• 🏗️ Architect mindset: making the right call early, documenting trade-offs, mentoring delivery teams
