About me

Pierre Malherbe

Senior DevOps Engineer | Lille, France 🇫🇷

Hi, I'm Pierre, a Senior DevOps Engineer at Sonio, specializing in cloud infrastructure, automation, and platform reliability.

Since 2018, I've been helping companies design, build, and operate secure and scalable platforms. My work spans cloud migrations, CI/CD pipelines, observability, and infrastructure-as-code across various industries and tech stacks.

Beyond industry work, I teach cloud and DevOps at UPJV (Université de Picardie Jules Verne), sharing practical knowledge about GCP, Terraform, and modern DevOps practices with Master's students.

I'm passionate about automation, self-service platforms, and making infrastructure both reliable and elegant. I love collaborating with teams to improve developer experience, reduce toil, and bring clarity to complex systems.

Always happy to connect and collaborate. Let's get in touch!
