Pierre Malherbe - Senior DevOps Engineer
Hi, I’m Pierre Malherbe, a Senior DevOps Engineer at Sonio based in Lille, France (or working remotely). I specialize in cloud infrastructure, automation, and platform reliability.
Since 2018, I’ve been helping companies design, build, and operate secure and scalable platforms. My background includes working across various industries and stacks, with a strong focus on cloud migrations, CI/CD, observability, and infrastructure-as-code.
In addition to my role in the industry, I also teach cloud and DevOps courses at UPJV (Université de Picardie Jules Verne), where I share practical knowledge about GCP, Terraform, and modern DevOps culture with Master’s students.
I’m passionate about automation, building self-service platforms for developers, and making infrastructure both reliable and elegant. I enjoy collaborating with teams to improve developer experience, reduce manual toil, and bring clarity to complex systems.
Always happy to connect, share ideas, or collaborate on something meaningful. Let’s get in touch!
