19-year-old Computer Science student at UTC and DevOps engineer apprentice at Airbus PSS.

My main focus is on infrastructure automation and deployment workflows, keeping systems understandable, maintainable, and reliable.

I enjoy working closely with a team, valuing continuous learning and peer feedback.

    • Refactored .NET authorization architecture by migrating permission checks to API controllers across 500+ endpoints, verified through non-regression test suites

Personal projects

I currently focus on two projects outside of school:

• Proxmox & GitOps Kubernetes self-hosting platform - Apr 2026, ongoing & still working on it

  • In collaboration with my friend Jonas Facon (former colleague at ADTi + classmate at BUT), we developed a common Proxmox base that we then forked for our personal needs - About
  • The main goal of this project is to learn how to manage a Proxmox / Kubernetes platform and, if possible, push it to the limits of automation and reliability.
  Proxmox Kubernetes ArgoCD PLG Monitoring Ansible Terraform GitHub Actions SOPS / age WireGuard VPN Docker Caddy
  

  GitHub Actions - Parallelized matrix deployments & Ansible automation

  

  ArgoCD - Root application & ApplicationSets GitOps architecture

  

  Grafana & Loki - Centralized logs aggregation via Grafana Alloy agent

  

  ArgoCD - Core platform services (Traefik Gateway, Longhorn, Alloy)

  

  ArgoCD - Multi-source GitOps deployment (Helm bjw-s & Git configuration)

  

  Longhorn - Distributed and replicated block storage for persistent workloads

  

  SOPS - Python script used in a pre-commit githook to ensure auto-encryption at commit

  Secrets management note (SOPS / age)

  After first using OpenBao (to learn Vault usage), secrets are now managed on Git using SOPS / age and loaded through Ansible playbooks. For ArgoCD, secrets are decrypted by the SOPS Kubernetes Operator, itself deployed as an ArgoCD app.

  Using this platform, I publicly host:

  • openlatex.blavogiez.fr - Personal project (ArgoCD manifest)
  • ecodrop.blavogiez.fr - School pair project: Backend REST API for a recycling platform (Java EE, PostgreSQL) (ArgoCD manifest)
  • kanban.blavogiez.fr - My Kanban plannings

  And on the admin side, here are some, although you won’t be able to see them as they are VPN restricted:

  • argocd.priv.blavogiez.fr, terraform-backend.priv.blavogiez.fr, monitoring.priv.blavogiez.fr, vault.priv.blavogiez.fr

• OpenLaTeX - Collaborative web LaTeX editor - Oct 2025, ongoing & still working on it

  • Development of a LaTeX web editor where users can write live on a document, compile to PDF, and save their projects with their account. Writing all my school reports in LaTeX, it helped in the writing of live-group reports.
  • Hosted live on openlatex.blavogiez.fr entirely on a Kubernetes cluster with its Helm Chart and ArgoCD Application, and also self-hostable through Docker Compose.

  Real-time collaborative web editor (Yjs) with live PDF compilation

  

  User workspace and LaTeX project management

  

  Grafana live monitoring dashboards (API latency, compiler queue & K3s metrics)

  

  Kubernetes Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA) and automated worker scaling

  

  CI/CD DAG pipeline (unit tests, Docker matrix builds, deploy & k6 load testing)

  Visit:

  • the Grafana dashboards, where dev and prod namespaces are monitored

I have other school group projects that you can find on GitHub: Matrix Server (automated multi-VM deployment, BATS testing, Bash orchestration), EcoDrop REST API (Java EE, PostgreSQL, GitLab CI/CD with 70 Bruno integration tests), and Modulab (procedural maze game in Java).

…And their organization

All of my personal projects are tracked by 3-month long plannings on kanban.blavogiez.fr (using Kanboard), since May 2026. In this context, it mostly helps on prioritization. You can find the current planning here and reviews on my GitHub, where I note areas of improvement over time.

As I usually spend between one and five hours a week on personal projects, expect roughly 36 hours for each planning, and 8 to 12 tasks. A typical task consists of 25% planning, 50% implementation and 25% quality reviewing, and is formulated through a Problem -> Solution idea.

Skills

Most of these are used in my day-to-day personal project administration, which consists of Kubernetes workloads running in Proxmox.

Principles I follow

• Improving my work methods through feedback and/or self-questioning
• End users know their needs best. In school projects, I tried to align closely with teachers’ expectations, and during my internship, I made sure to clarify clients’ requirements before planning any solution.

• Code reusability and templating (in my case, usually with Jinja2 or Helm)
• Building reusable custom CI/CD pipelines across projects to address common needs
• Single source of truth, both for infra and dev (it can be Git for deployments, Makefiles for commands…)
