I turn ambitious ideas into cloud-native reality.
For more than 15 years I’ve guided organisations—from fast-moving start-ups to global brands like Carlsberg Group—through every stage of their AWS journey: strategy, secure landing zones, cloud economics, and production-grade DevOps. As an AWS Cloud Architect in the Cloud Centre of Excellence, I design multi-account environments that balance innovation with governance, automate everything as code, and give development teams the safe runway they need to ship faster.
What I bring :
❖ Full-spectrum cloud leadership – Landing-zone architecture, network & security baselines, golden-AMI pipelines, cross-account CSPM, cost optimisation, and post-merger migrations.
❖ Builder’s mindset – I prototype quickly (Terraform, CDK, Serverless) and scale pragmatically, whether it’s a micro-SaaS, genomics research platform, or enterprise-wide DevOps.
❖ Security & compliance by design – Preventive guardrails, detective controls, IAM best practices, and continuous posture monitoring.
❖ Storytelling & enablement – Clear roadmaps, hands-on workshops, and content (presentations, blogs, YouTube) that turn complex cloud concepts into actionable steps for engineers and executives alike.
❖ Global, cross-cultural collaboration – Fluent in English, French, and Moroccan Darija; comfortable bridging business and technical teams across time zones.
Looking ahead
↠ I’m excited to partner with visionary teams who want to:
↠ Scale secure, multi-tenant cloud platforms
↠ Accelerate AI/ML or bioinformatics workloads on AWS
↠ Transform legacy operations into automated, self-service models
↠ Launch high-impact SaaS products in record time
If that sounds like your next chapter, let’s connect and explore what we can build together.
Open to senior architect & engineering-lead roles, strategic consulting engagements, and collaborative ventures.
