Summary
Mickael Roger is a Principal Engineer and technical leader with over two decades of hands-on systems and cloud experience and nine years in senior architecture and delivery roles. As co-creator and Head of Design of S3NS — the Thales/Google Cloud joint venture behind the first SecNumCloud-qualified hyperscaler region — he defined the platform architecture, built SRE teams and shipped novel sovereignty primitives like External KMS and hardware-rooted cryptographic chains. He combines deep infrastructure expertise (Kubernetes, KubeVirt, NixOS, Open vSwitch) with a pragmatic focus on incident readiness and production resilience. Previously at Thales he led cloud, DevOps and innovation programs, produced a patented isolation solution with AWS, and architected secure platforms for defense and national-scale systems. A regular conference speaker and long-time open-source enthusiast, he mentors teams through hard technical blockers and pursues robotics and AI projects outside work. Colleagues know him for turning “impossible” problems into operational systems and for a persistent Zero Trust mindset in secure cloud designs.
