Senior Lead Ops Engineer, Observability @ ADEO
Lille area, France
Transforming telemetry into actionable insights.
From reactive monitoring to proactive, AI-driven insights: scaling resilient platforms, Datadog and team enablement at ADEO.
Focus
As Senior Lead Ops Engineer in Observability, I transform how engineering teams monitor, scale and optimize their platforms. Leading ADEO's observability transformation, I turn complex telemetry into a proactive asset, leveraging AI, SRE practices and FinOps discipline.
Proactive Observability & AIOps
Datadog at scale, with anomaly detection, predictive monitoring and SLO governance, so teams hear about a problem before their users do.
SRE Culture & Enablement
Tailored training, workshops and mentorship that move operational ownership into the product teams and drive total team autonomy.
FinOps & Cloud Resilience
Cost optimization of the observability stack and resilient platforms on Kubernetes and GCP, managed as code from end to end.
- 400k+
- downloads of my Statuspage provider on the Terraform Registry
- Group-wide
- ownership of Datadog as a product across ADEO
- Since 2012
- building and running software, from web apps to platforms
Featured
With Datadog, we no longer ask whether a server is healthy, but whether our customers can complete their journey, and AI gets us to the root cause in minutes.
Current role
Senior Lead Ops Engineer
Oct 2021 – Present
Today I'm the technical lead and go-to expert for Datadog across the ADEO group: platform architecture, governance and cost optimization, team adoption, and the AI agents we build around it.
AI for Ops
- Build the skills and agents that bring AI into day-to-day operations, turning runbooks and team know-how into reusable building blocks for agentic workflows.
- Develop automated root cause analysis, where agents investigate alerts, test hypotheses against telemetry and hand engineers an evidence-backed conclusion.
- Scale these tools across the ADEO group, on top of Bits AI SRE, Bits chat and other assistants, with humans kept in the loop.
Datadog Product Ownership & FinOps
- Key technical advisor for Datadog across the group, guiding multiple teams through their observability challenges.
- Spearheaded FinOps governance of the group's Datadog usage, with strategies that delivered significant cost optimization.
SRE Practices & Observability Automation
- Engineered "Overwatch", a custom solution that automates end-to-end monitoring (dashboards, alerts and SLOs) across Kubernetes, databases and other products.
- Championed SRE and Ops principles across development teams through workshops and ongoing mentorship.
