Reliability over noise
I prefer clean and understandable systems over unnecessary platform complexity.
Production-ready DevOps portfolio
You can trust me with production systems.
I design, deploy and operate production-ready Linux infrastructure for real-world applications. My focus is simple: automation, controlled exposure, observability, and architectures that stay maintainable under real operating conditions.
Real deployments
Multi-VM environments used to host actual services, not toy demos.
Automation first
Infrastructure and application deployment built around reproducibility.
Production mindset
Monitoring, logs, routing and failure visibility are part of the design.
Controlled exposure
A central gateway, clear routing rules and explicit service publication.
Observability from day one
Metrics, dashboards and logs are treated as operational requirements.
Reusable patterns
Projects are deployed with repeatable conventions rather than one-off scripts.
Architecture
A DevOps showcase built around real operating constraints.
The core of this portfolio is a staging / production infrastructure designed to deploy services in a controlled way. The architecture favors isolation, clarity and maintainability over unnecessary orchestration complexity.

Why this design
- Centralized reverse proxy for controlled exposure and simpler traffic management.
- VM-level isolation to keep services understandable and operationally safe.
- Ansible-driven deployment patterns for repeatability and clean project onboarding.
- Integrated monitoring stack because troubleshooting starts with visibility.
- Pragmatic container usage without introducing unnecessary orchestration layers.
Capabilities
What I can take ownership of.
This portfolio is meant to be practical. It shows the kind of systems and responsibilities I can own end to end, from deployment design to operational visibility.
Linux infrastructure
Provisioning, operating and maintaining Linux-based server environments with a focus on stability and clarity.
Deployment automation
Reusable automation patterns with Ansible for project onboarding, configuration consistency and repeatable rollout.
Reverse proxy & routing
Service publication through a central gateway with clear domain mapping and upstream control.
Containerized services
Application packaging and deployment using Docker with pragmatic operational boundaries.
Monitoring & logging
Metrics, dashboards and log collection pipelines to support real troubleshooting and service visibility.
Production troubleshooting
Debugging routing issues, service exposure, logging pipelines and operational behavior under real conditions.

Observability
Production mindset
- Reliability matters more than unnecessary sophistication.
- Operational visibility should exist before incidents happen.
- Clear separation of concerns beats accidental sprawl.
- Simple architectures are easier to explain, maintain and trust.
What this infrastructure is used for
- Hosting real services behind a centralized gateway.
- Validating deployment patterns across staging and production.
- Testing monitoring and logging design in realistic scenarios.
- Serving as a reusable base for multiple application projects.
Projects
Applications running on this infrastructure.
The projects below are not the center of the portfolio. They are proof that the infrastructure is designed to host, expose and operate real workloads.
Facturier
An e-invoicing project deployed as a real application on top of this infrastructure, demonstrating containerized deployment, routing through the proxy layer, and integration-oriented thinking.
View projectlavallee.tech
A multilingual static website deployed through the same staging / production logic, serving as both portfolio and deployment showcase.
Future projects
The infrastructure is intentionally reusable so that additional services can be onboarded with the same operational model.
Location
Based in France. Open to Germany, Switzerland, remote and hybrid opportunities.
Languages
English, German and French versions are available on this site for international applications.
Use in applications
This website is designed to support job applications as a practical portfolio of infrastructure and IT skills.
Looking for a DevOps / Linux role with real production ownership.
If you are hiring for infrastructure, automation, Linux operations, observability or platform responsibilities, this portfolio is meant to show how I think and what I can own.
