SRE / Platform Engineer
Renaud-Dov Devers
I build, operate, and debug systems in production — infrastructure, CI/CD, and observability.
About
I graduated from EPITA, but my professional experience started well before graduation — working part-time in DevOps and on code-analysis tooling throughout my studies. That hands-on work never really stopped, and it gradually pulled me toward SRE and platform engineering.
What draws me in is understanding how a system holds up — or breaks — under real conditions: observability, debugging, automating infrastructure so it stays reliable without constant manual intervention. Outside of code, I'm also an amateur landscape photographer, which isn't as unrelated as it sounds: the same patience for observing before you understand what's actually happening.
Experience
SRE
2025 – PresentDiabolocom
Own observability, monitoring, and alerting for the platform, with regular involvement in infrastructure and production issues.
- Own the observability stack: Prometheus, Grafana, VictoriaMetrics, Loki.
- Infrastructure as Code with Kubernetes, Terraform, and Ansible.
- Manage the CI/CD pipelines used by developers and their runners.
- Debug production systems: OOMKill analysis, strace, machine-level diagnostics.
- Investigate incidents and drive root cause analysis.

2025Diabolocom
Helped build a fully distributed, cloud-agnostic infrastructure, from on-premise to multiple public clouds.
- Infrastructure automation and management with Ansible, Terraform, and Proxmox.
- Orchestration and monitoring with Kubernetes, Ceph, Prometheus, and Grafana.
- Service management with Docker, PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ, and HAProxy.
- CI/CD and observability with GitLab, Sentry, Netdata, and Cert-Manager.
- Revamped observability and alerting, and deployed an EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) solution.

Technical expertise
Reliability & Observability
Full ownership of platform observability: monitoring, alerting, and the underlying metrics and logging infrastructure.
Infrastructure
Deploying and maintaining reproducible infrastructure — described in code rather than configured by hand.
CI/CD & Developer Platform
Managing the CI pipelines development teams rely on, and the runners behind them.
Software Engineering
Backend development and tooling, from application services to code-analysis tools.
Systems & Debugging
Diagnosing production systems: OOMKill analysis, strace, incident investigation, and root cause analysis.
Projects
Project
Personal infrastructure
Self-hosted personal infrastructure: a Kubernetes cluster with continuous deployment via ArgoCD, provisioned with Terraform and configured with Ansible.
Kubernetes as the runtime platform, ArgoCD for continuous deployment (GitOps), Terraform for provisioning, Ansible for configuration, Vault for secrets management.
Project
EPITA Forge intranet
Development of EPITA's new central information system, used by students and teachers, connecting all of the school's services.
Project
Hermes
A Discord-based ticket management system used by teaching assistants and teachers of EPITA's preparatory cycle to answer students.
Project
EpiMac intranet
Complete redevelopment of the EpiMac association's intranet, giving EPITA/Epitech students access to the Apple Developer Program during their studies.
Project
C# Analyzer
A static analysis tool in C# using the Roslyn compiler to automatically grade student submissions.
Manually checking that thousands of student submissions (multiple resubmissions per assignment) meet precise constraints (methods used, classes, recursion, loops, required keywords) and actually compile so they can be tested is slow and error-prone.
Syntactic and semantic analysis of the submission via Roslyn, comparison against the expected skeleton, verification of specific method/class/recursion/loop/keyword usage, then automatic generation of the missing functions needed for the build to run the grading test suite.
