Open to remote roles · Tunis, UTC+1 · EU work authorization
SRE and DataOps engineer with two years of on-call experience on GCP and HashiCorp Nomad. I cut incident resolution time, migrate databases without downtime, and design infrastructure that costs less per event.

Client and company code is private, so these are described by problem and outcome.
Problem: Recurring pipeline failures were being found by customers, not by us.
What I did: Centralized monitoring over infrastructure, application and data-quality signals, plus restart, rollback and database-recovery runbooks with post-recovery validation.
Recurring failures turned into alerts and repeatable procedures; MTTR down 65%.
Problem: Redundant compute, storage and transfer layers, with ~20x event growth ahead.
What I did: Mapped data flows end to end, built a cost model around a 'cost per million events' KPI, and benchmarked direct ClickHouse ingestion, managed queues, self-hosted HA Nomad, optimized MySQL and DuckLake/Parquet on object storage.
A prioritized modernization roadmap built to absorb ~20x ingestion without linear cost growth.
Problem: Analytics queries on 10M+ records were too slow for real-time diagnostics.
What I did: Designed a two-node ClickHouse cluster and migrated from MySQL with a blue-green strategy and no downtime.
100x faster queries and real-time diagnostics.
Problem: Cloud spend was growing faster than traffic.
What I did: Found obsolete and cost-heavy services to replace or remove, and rewrote hot production paths in Go to save memory.
50% lower GCP cost.
Problem: One-hour manual releases.
What I did: Jenkins, SonarQube and Git pipeline with quality gates and test-driven development.
15-minute automated deploys, 85% code coverage.
I work remotely from Tunis with managers and a team based in Paris. Tunisia is on UTC+1 all year, so I overlap France's working day almost entirely.
I took on-call and overnight pager duty for production systems, so I know that remote reliability means alerts, runbooks and clear handoffs, not being in the room.
Post-mortems, runbooks, architecture decision notes and benchmark reports. I leave a trail someone else can pick up without a call.
Promoted to Technical Project Lead to run five-plus workstreams and coordinate priorities and deadlines, all remotely.
Italian citizenship: no visa or sponsorship needed to work in the EU.
