Production experience.

Full ownership of production applications and internal infrastructure as an apprentice software engineer since 2023.

ITSOLUTIONS
Software Developer (Apprenticeship)
September 2023 — Present · Work-study

As the sole developer in the company, I manage the entire lifecycle of our business applications — from initial requirements and architecture to development, deployment, server administration, and security.

  • Built a real-time mobile app and back-office ERP to manage driver missions in the field
  • Engineered a cost-effective SMS notification service with rate limiting and automated routing
  • Developed a secure B2B invoice portal with role-based access control and tenant data isolation
  • Deployed and maintained an on-premise Linux mail server (DNS, SPF/DKIM/DMARC, TLS encryption)
  • Manage continuous deployments, database migrations, security patches, and daily operations
  • Full autonomy across the technical stack: frontend, backend APIs, mobile, and Linux servers

Client production · B2B

Secure Invoice Retrieval Platform

Customer web portal allowing B2B clients to authenticate and securely download accounting documents.

Key challenge

Data isolation: ensuring strictly isolated tenant access with zero cross-customer leakage through granular role-based permissions.

Web App Authentication Access Control B2B Security
Infrastructure · Systems

On-Premise Mail Server

Self-hosted mail service deployed and configured on dedicated Linux infrastructure.

Key challenge

Reliable deliverability: configuring DNS records (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), TLS ciphers, and anti-spam heuristics to ensure legitimate traffic passes spam filters.

From full-stack development to cloud security.

Combining three years of building production applications with a dedicated focus on cloud infrastructure.

I'm an engineering apprentice at ISEN Ouest (France). For over three years at ITSOLUTIONS, I have been building and maintaining production web and mobile software on my own. That daily responsibility gave me a pragmatic view of software engineering: how systems behave under real usage, where vulnerabilities actually creep in, and why operational security matters from the start.

Today, I am channeling this practical background into defensive security (Blue Team) and cloud infrastructure. Having built full-stack applications from database to UI makes it natural to understand attack surfaces, configure least-privilege IAM policies, and design defended architectures. Roadmap: AWS SAA ➔ Security – Specialty.

Looking for an on-site Summer 2027 internship abroad in cloud infrastructure, security, or full-stack software development to fulfill my engineering school's international placement requirement.

01
Security by design
Implementing least-privilege access, encryption, and network segmentation at the architectural level rather than as an afterthought.
02
Full-stack awareness
Understanding how code interacts with operating systems, databases, and network layers helps identify practical vulnerabilities.
03
Ownership & autonomy
Managing production systems solo means being directly accountable for uptime, clear documentation, and prompt problem resolution.
04
Continuous specialization
Deepening defensive cloud and Blue Team skills through practical labs and structured certifications: AWS SAA ➔ Security – Specialty.
