I'm a student at EFREI (French School of General Digital Engineering), where I specialize in network engineering and infrastructure systems. Outside of school, I design and manage production-ready servers, game server clusters, and self-hosted platforms with automation and monitoring in mind.
- ⚙️ Visit my professional portfolio website for infra-related projects.
- 🌐 Visit my personal portfolio website for more personal, game-related creations.
- ✍️ I voluntarily don't share my LinkedIn here as it's mostly in French.
Note: I'm not a software developer. My projects focus on infrastructure, bots, and systems, not code volume or GitHub scoring.
- Industrium (formerly Flaze SMP): modded Minecraft experience with infrastructure and company systems. GitHub organization available here.
- Lyra Bot (in development): RPG-themed Discord bot by me and LyraStudio, combining lore, progression, and text-based gameplay
- Server infrastructure upgrades: improvements to monitoring stacks, DNS handling, and automation pipelines for both Minecraft and web projects.
- Internal tools: CLI and web-based utilities for managing players, companies, plots, and stats in Industrium, designed to assist staff operations and support Discord bot integration.
- 🖥️ Design and manage Linux-based infrastructure (Docker, Nginx, systemd, reverse proxies)
- 🔧 Automate everything with Bash and Ansible
- 📊 Deploy and configure monitoring tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and Uptime Kuma
- 🕹️ Maintain and optimize modded and custom game servers (Minecraft, Rust, Satisfactory...)
- 🔐 Secure and document real-world systems (e.g., AD integration on Debian at SEMMARIS)
Public infrastructure for a large-scale Minecraft modded server:
- Full Docker stack (servers, dashboards, backup system, monitoring)
- Remote management scripts, role-based access, and metrics
- Designed for scalability and high uptime
Production-ready Ansible script to integrate Debian servers into an Active Directory domain:
- Automates
realm join, sudo group mapping, user home creation, and LAPS4Linux configuration. - Tested and used in production at SEMMARIS (Marché de Rungis)
