Cédric Couralet is a pragmatic Data Scientist and seasoned software architect with 10+ years building secure, cloud-ready services and identity infrastructures at INSEE and GENES in France. He blends hands-on development in Java, C/C++, JavaScript and LDAP/AD ecosystems with strategic leadership—having led IT departments, driven authentication and directory services, and acted as product owner for Kubernetes adoption. A consistent open-source contributor, he has improved Keycloak’s LDAP provider and added GitLab snippet integrations to CodiMD, showing comfort across back-end and full‑stack concerns. His work frequently bridges security, identity and developer experience—e.g., creating Keycloak extensions for FranceConnect and running contributor days to foster community. Comfortable moving between legacy enterprise stacks (Oracle Forms, Tomcat, IIS, Exchange) and modern cloud-native patterns, he brings an operator’s sense for deployability and policy-driven authentication. Colleagues rely on him for practical, auditable solutions that reconcile compliance constraints with developer productivity.
