About

Astrid-Aurélien NKUMBE

DevSecOps & Platform Engineer and full-stack Tech Lead, I have spent 7+ years industrializing secure, compliant architectures (healthcare / HDS, GDPR, FHIR), from spec to production. I grow teams and bring agentic AI (Claude, RAG) into the development lifecycle. Born in Douala, trained in software engineering at IAI, I now work anywhere in France.
