Béchir L.

Led Professional Services engagements with enterprise clients across EMEA, delivering cloud architecture, DevOps platform enablement, and secure application design. Partnered with crossfunctional teams (Professional Services Engineers, Project Managers, Solution Architects) to scope, design, implement, and support large-scale hybrid cloud solutions.

• Technical Discovery & Solution Design – Conducted technical discovery sessions to capture customer business goals, constraints, and requirements; designed detailed solution architectures aligned to best practices.

• Prodcut adoption – Led adoption of Red Hat OpenShift AI (RHOAI), building POCs and enabling customers to deploy LLM models with MLOps workflows.

• Application & Platform Implementation – Delivered enterprise-grade CI/CD consulting services, integrating GitOps (ArgoCD) pipelines, GitLab CI/CD, and Kubernetes/OpenShift automation using Ansible.

• Cloud & DevOps Architecture – Built secure, scalable hybrid cloud platforms on OpenShift, Kubernetes, AWS, and on-prem environments; implemented observability (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry) and IAM (Keycloak, 3scale) solutions.

• Enterprise Migrations & Modernization – Executed SCM and application migration projects, containerizing workloads, and adopting cloud-native architectures with microservices and event-driven patterns.

• Mentorship & Enablement – Mentored partner consultants and customer teams on DevOps, cloud-native practices, and automation strategies; developed enablement materials, delivery

kits, and internal documentation.

• Best Practice Development – Created case studies, solution documentation, and reusable delivery assets for consistent Professional Services engagements.

• Documentation – Wrote technical documentation and architecture guides for internal teams

and customers (HLD - LLD - DAT - DTI).

• Implemented GitOps workflows with ArgoCD for efficient and automated

deployments.

• Provisioned and maintained infrastructure using Terraform, streamlining

environment setup.

• Managed and monitored Kubernetes clusters on Azure AKS, including node scaling, security policies, and troubleshooting cluster issues.

• Configured monitoring solutions with Grafana, Promtail, and Loki to track system performance and detect anomalies.

• Ensured consistent and automated configuration management using Ansible.

• Optimized Kubernetes resource allocation and orchestrated upgrades to maintain high availability and stability.

• Successfully reduced deployment times through automation of CI/CD pipelines with ArgoCD and Terraform.

• Improved Kubernetes cluster uptime by implementing proactive monitoring and auto-scaling policies on Azure AKS.

• Led the migration of legacy applications to Kubernetes, reducing infrastructure costs and simplifying application management.

• Enhanced system security by integrating role-based access control (RBAC) and implementing Azure AD authentication for Kubernetes.

• Delivered comprehensive training sessions to internal teams on Kubernetes administration and GitOps practices, increasing overall team productivity
