Open to work — relocating welcome, Dublin especially

Maxime Girard

I'm a cloud and platform engineer. I like infrastructure that's reproducible and quiet — the kind you forget is running until it quietly recovers on its own.

I'm finishing a two-year apprenticeship as an SRE/DevOps engineer at Enedis, alongside my engineering degree. I'm looking for a full-time platform or cloud role from September 2026.

Other projects

A mix of personal builds and paid work. The personal ones I can show in depth; client and employer work I describe, since the code isn't mine to publish.

Personalongoing

Self-hosted Homelab

A single Proxmox host — 8 cores, 64 GB — that I run like production. Around 20 VMs and LXC containers stay up around the clock; five or six are reachable from outside on demand through a Cloudflare Tunnel, so there are no open ports and nothing permanently public. One of them runs Frigate for real-time AI object detection on my camera feeds. It's where I test the patterns I later trust at work: IaC, segmented networking, backups, monitoring.

Cloud Platform @ Enedis

A multi-user platform I built and operated on AWS (ECS Fargate, API Gateway, Lambda, RDS), provisioning isolated environments on demand, with Terraform IaC and self-healing incident remediation. It's onboarded several teams so far, and it's built to scale to roughly 100 project teams. Described here — the code is private.

GTA — Time & Activity Management

An accounting firm was tracking hours across scattered Excel files that kept drifting out of sync. I built them a FastAPI + React app that became the single source of truth — one validated format, no more hand-reconciling spreadsheets. That ended the tracking errors those files bred and gave the firm a single view of its hours, in a shape that meets their legal reporting duties. Shipped to production, with a 20-scenario acceptance suite passing 100%.

Highway Traffic Simulation

A browser-based traffic simulation built on the IDM and MOBIL models. I wanted to see emergent behaviour first-hand — how phantom traffic jams form from nothing — and watch flow and density react in real time.
