Context

Probance publishes a marketing automation solution operated for customers in France, Japan and Canada. For over three years, I industrialized its infrastructure and processes: containerization, CI, observability and automation.

Containerization and security

CIS Benchmark-compliant Docker Swarm cluster, with team training and internal documentation.
Hardened Docker images: read-only, rootless, reduced capabilities.

CI and observability

Self-hosted GitLab with continuous integration for the whole team.
Elastic stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) with technical and functional training.
Centreon monitoring with custom check development.

Development and support

Python development: Flask, FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, Bash scripting.
Technical support for the solution across three continents (Japan, Canada, France).
Industrialization projects: automating recurring tasks, process overhauls.
