Summary
Florian Locard is a Lead Cloud Engineer based in Brittany, France, with 8 years of experience building and operating large-scale internal PaaS platforms that serve millions of users. He spent six years shaping Orange’s Erable PaaS—leading containerization (OpenShift), service mesh (Istio), observability (ELK), and migrations to modern VPC/NSX-T infrastructure—while coaching teams and customers on best practices. His background blends hands-on development (Java, Node.js, C) and systems integration with leadership roles in DevOps and cloud architecture, delivering automated CI/CD, Puppet-driven deployments, and managed services like Kafka. Comfortable across private cloud (VMware/VRA) and cloud-native stacks, he focuses on pragmatic, production-ready solutions that scale. An engineer who stays operationally involved, he’s known for translating complex telecom and OTT requirements into reliable, observable platforms.
