+### DevOps Engineer
+
+I’m a passionate advocate for cloud-native application development, particularly using Spring Boot. With a background that blends both DevOps and backend development, I’ve spent my career building efficient, scalable solutions while driving automation and optimization throughout the software lifecycle.
+I’m deeply committed to Agile principles and software craftsmanship, with a focus on automating unit, integration, and end-to-end testing, and ensuring high-quality code delivery. My passion for cloud-native applications is rooted in the belief that Spring Boot offers a powerful framework for developing robust, modern applications that are well-suited for today’s distributed cloud environments.

+### Engineering the operability of SonarQube @ SonarSource
+RI am part of the SonarQube team at SonarSource and, together with my colleague Jérémy, I take the responsibility of bringing the best-in-class software operability in private and public cloud to the next level. Have a look at the public GitHub repositories [1,2] that we maintain in my squad!
+
+Previously, I was a senior DevOps engineer and Product Owner for Continuous Integration (CI) and Delivery (CD) tools and DevOps practices at Avaloq, part of NEC Corporation. In this role, I took ownership of build tools and architect the next automation tasks, with the goal of fostering a DevOps mindset within the company.
+
+I hold a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Zurich (UZH). During my PhD work, I focused on improving CI/CD processes, implementing solutions that help developers avoid anti-patterns and deal better with the required automation. I co-authored 14 articles on CI/CD topics published at top-tier peer-reviewed conferences and journals [3] in the field of software engineering. Before joining UZH, I was a research intern at ING Nederland where I studied how DevOps is transforming the financial services industry.
+
+I am a speaker at international academic (e.g., the International Conference on Software Engineering) and technical (e.g., DevOps Institute Skilup days) conferences. I also enjoy attending local meetups. My slide decks are available at [4].
