AI Productivity Manager

Shift Technology

Jan 2025 - Present Current Paris, FR English

Within a multinational French Tech Next 40 scale-up, I lead engineering productivity for 400 technical users across 600 repositories and 30,000 monthly pull requests, and AI enablement for 600 company-wide users.

AI product, platform and governance

  • Own the roadmap, deployment and governance for GitHub Copilot, Claude and Microsoft Foundry
  • Operate a production AI gateway with Azure API Management for compliant internal use of sensitive data, including model access, monitoring, evaluations, cost controls and human approval
  • Develop organisation-level instructions, agents and plugins, including automated AI code review and security controls

Inner loop, outer loop and secure delivery

  • Own the Aspire-based inner loop, with templates and team training; all services use local telemetry and emulators
  • Administer GitHub Enterprise: organisation and repository standards, reusable workflows and runners, while teams retain ownership of application workflows
  • Own software supply-chain security for packages, images, artifacts and third-party actions

Adoption and measurable outcomes

  • Reduced service authoring from days to minutes through templates and repository standards; enforced security rulesets, 100% SAST coverage and 100% SBOM coverage across all repositories
  • Scaled Shift's AI productivity programme from 3% to 95% technical adoption in 12 months; increased pull-request throughput by 40% at flat headcount and achieved 100% AI code-review coverage
  • Reduced open code-security alerts by 40% in six months through AI-assisted remediation and enforced pull-request controls

People and product management

  • Manage a cross-functional team of three engineers; lead performance and career development
  • Own the product roadmap, vendor selection, commercial management and budget for AI tools and token consumption
  • Lead AI Champions, training and company-wide AI Days; report adoption, productivity and cost metrics to leadership

Platform Architect

Shift Technology

Aug 2022 - Jan 2025 Paris, FR English

I designed the Engineering Platform that enabled a multi-region, multi-tenant SaaS organisation to evolve from IaaS monoliths to Azure PaaS services and self-service delivery.

Cloud platform architecture

  • Designed and deployed Azure landing zones, management groups, subscriptions and policy governance for a multi-region SaaS platform serving data from more than 100 customers
  • Owned target and reference architectures, ADRs, design reviews and technology selection for Container Apps, Functions, Service Bus, Cosmos DB, Storage, Key Vault, API Management and observability
  • Designed multitenant services and integrations supporting dozens of services, with OpenTelemetry, Application Insights and Azure Monitor extending established IaaS operational practices to PaaS

Paved roads, security and delivery

  • Created versioned Terraform modules and secure GitHub deployment workflows, replacing an infrastructure-ticket model with pre-approved paved roads for engineering teams
  • Expanded platform adoption from one pilot team to all approximately ten engineering teams and increased deployment frequency from one every six weeks to multiple per day in three years
  • Implemented SOC 2 and GDPR-aligned controls across Azure Policy and GitHub Advanced Security, policies and rulesets, with security controls delegated by the CISO

May 2020 - Aug 2022 Suresnes, FR French, English

In a fast-growing startup, I led the cloud-native transformation of all applications, moving monoliths to Azure PaaS services while improving performance, cost efficiency and delivery confidence.

Cloud transformation and architecture

  • Designed Azure PaaS-only target architectures and blueprints, transforming monolithic applications into smaller services with Serverless and Zero Trust principles
  • Designed reusable CI/CD pipelines and Infrastructure as Code templates for all applications, using Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Bicep, Terraform and PowerShell
  • Improved application performance and infrastructure efficiency through rightsizing, reducing memory consumption by approximately 75%

Delivery and engineering leadership

  • Partnered with Product Owners on global solution design and participated in architecture change reviews, delivering strategic front-office capabilities including e-signature and medical review
  • Led a team of six developers for one year and recruited technical profiles across engineering, QA, DevOps and architecture

Quality and enablement

  • Implemented continuous security, quality and supply-chain audits through DevSecOps pipelines
  • Trained teams on cloud, serverless, DevOps and code-quality practices
