WORK HISTORY
Network Architect @Docaposte
Conducting a comprehensive architectural study and full RFI/RFP process to redesign the entire external network zone — Internet edge, WAN, branch offices, SDWAN, SSE/SASE, User VPN, built around a unified principle: any resource outside the datacentre is untrusted and subject to the same security policy. Designed a Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) architecture for multicloud connectivity: captured business requirements, defined engineering rules, and pre-provisioned a reusable framework (interconnect topology, BGP design, addressing plan) enabling on-demand connectivity via Megaport to private datacentres and public cloud providers. Designed for future automation. Authored RFI and RFP documentation from scratch; presented architectural proposals and strategic recommendations to COMEX, business units, project managers, and engineering teams. Deployed a hybrid anti-DDoS solution (Radware) protecting all internet interconnections, including BGP diversion architecture and scrubbing centre interconnection (Equinix / FranceIX). Reverse-engineered a governmental application network topology to rebuild full compliance documentation following a security audit — no prior documentation existed. Contributing to the WAF deployment covering thousands of hybrid SaaS and on-premises applications.
