02 / About Benjamin

Illustrated portrait of Benjamin Nicodeme

I stay responsible after architecture becomes operations.

I lead cloud infrastructure and automation across AWS environments, with responsibility continuing into day-to-day operations. The infrastructure is fully defined in Terraform, cross-account and automated.

My broader background spans cloud architecture, infrastructure as code, networking, security and dependable service delivery.

The working principle remains simple: understand the system, encode what should repeat, and stay involved in operations.
