Developer - Azure Infrastructure AI
🌍 Montreal Area, Canada

I am currently a Developer - Azure Infrastructure AI, with over 15 years of experience managing and automating complex IT systems.

Develop and optimize Azure infrastructures to support AI workloads, data engineering, and critical pipelines. Deploy and maintain Databricks environments (clusters, jobs, models, data pipelines), ensuring their performance, security, and compliance. Automate operations and deployments (IaC, CI/CD, scripts, orchestrations) to improve reliability and reduce manual intervention. Collaborate with Data Science, AI, and IT teams to transform business needs into robust and scalable cloud solutions. Implement MLOps and DataOps best practices, including model management, data governance, monitoring, and observabilit. Contribute to the evolution of data and AI architectures in a strategic and highly critical environment. With an approach focused on efficiency, quality, and innovation, I am working to build a modern and sustainable infrastructure that supports digital transformation.

I am currently enrolled in a University Certificate in Data Science, a program that allows me to develop skills in statistics, programming, and applied analysis.

In parallel, I actively participate in Machine Learning competitions on Kaggle (kaggle.com), a stimulating environment where I can put my learning into practice, test my models against real-world problems, and grow by connecting with a passionate international community.

This new focus on data science and artificial intelligence is a true passion for me. It allows me to connect my expertise in infrastructure and automation to strategic data-related challenges and pave the way for new and innovative projects.

I am excited to share my discoveries, experiments, and successes in this rapidly evolving field.
