Senior Platform Engineer and Site Reliability Engineer based in Paris, France.
I build internal developer platforms, Kubernetes platforms, GitOps workflows, and cloud infrastructure automation with Crossplane, Flux CD, Python, and Go.
My main focus is platform engineering, Kubernetes, Crossplane, GitOps, observability, cloud infrastructure, and developer self service systems.
I am Marouan Chakran, a Senior Platform Engineer with experience in platform engineering, site reliability engineering, Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, and production systems.
I design and build internal developer platforms that help teams provision, operate, and scale infrastructure with clear workflows and strong reliability.
I enjoy working on platform tooling, self service infrastructure, GitOps control planes, observability stacks, and automation for cloud native environments.
