Professional Career

From 2015 to today → E-commerce Manager

I develop Cafés Querry’s online business full-time with a mix of expertise in Wordpress, web marketing and SysAdmin.

I also developed a passion for coffee and became a master roaster (with participation in the Best Craftsman of France competition), a role that now occupies 20% of my salaried time.

I strive to apply the DevOps philosophy as much as possible, automating repetitive tasks to the maximum (or rather that I take on myself, since I work autonomously), with a focus on continuous improvement.

Wordpress & WooCommerce

When I arrived, I chose to migrate from Magento to the Wordpress / WooCommerce combo. This choice was motivated by the fact that, being the only one working on e-commerce at that time, I preferred to develop the activity on a platform I mastered very well, and on which I was comfortable with front-end, back-end and marketing. Obviously, there are limits and constraints that are now being felt, but I don’t regret my choice at all from back then and everything is still running very well today.

Sysadmin

When I joined Cafés Querry, everything was managed externally. I set up an entire infrastructure that now allows us to:

The infrastructure was set up by hand. At the time of writing, the transition to infrastructure-as-code is still in progress.

🧰 Some tools I use: Ansible, Rundeck, Docker, Podman, Mariadb, Apache, Nginx, Redis, Nextcloud, Netdata, Virtualbox, Bitwarden…

Web Marketing

Over time, I reapplied my knowledge in this area for my employer. Quite a few things on the agenda including:

From 2015 to today → Self-employed

The first motivation for this entrepreneurial adventure was to be able to respond to requests that could be made to me after leaving my agency position. Indeed, clients wanted to continue working with me and I needed to be able to invoice my services.

This activity is very diverse as I make all my skills available. Beyond what I apply in my job, I also respond to requests for:

IT Infrastructure

I set up, maintain and continually evolve an infrastructure that is used for my professional and personal needs. Part of the infrastructure is “historical” and set up by hand, the rest is infrastructure-as-code. Some services require an automated deployment pipeline.

I self-host at home and/or on a dedicated server at Scaleway and/or on a cloud server at Oracle “some” services for my professional and personal needs:

🧰 Some tools I use: Terraform, Ansible, Podman, Docker, Nextcloud, Traefik, Caddy, Notion, Obsidian…

From 2008 to 2015 → Séquane

It was during this period that I truly honed my skills professionally, as a digital project manager at the Séquane communication agency. It was a difficult period that ended painfully, but at least it was extremely formative.

When I joined the company, still very young at the time, almost nothing was in place for digital. So I had the responsibility to build the entire department from scratch: organization, network of providers, technical stack, method for analyzing and understanding client needs, management methods, client retention, etc. etc. etc.

It was there that I took my first steps in operations and put on my “Ops” hat, with (simple) server administration, backups, monitoring, security, hardware management (client workstations)…

Soft Skills

The experience was also incredibly enriching in terms of soft skills, given that I was constantly in contact with teams and clients. Here’s the list of those I think I master best (yes, I’m making a list because I’m quite proud of them and I think they make the difference in a professional context!):

My past side-projects

I had several side-projects early in my career, but I’ve let them go since. Impossible to be everywhere at once, salaried, entrepreneurial and family activities got the better of these projects.
