Hi there, I'm Loïc Houpert 👋

💻 Senior Cyber Platform Engineer at DWP, building secure cloud infrastructure and leading container-based solutions for government cyber security operations 🛡️

🚀 What I do:

  • Build and maintain AWS cloud platforms serving 20+ users
  • Design zero-CVE container solutions using Docker & Terraform
  • Lead DevOps transformations and increase test coverage from 10% to 85%
  • Mentor engineering teams on security automation and best practices

🔧 My current tech stack:

  • Cloud & Infrastructure: AWS (ECS, Lambda, S3, VPC), Terraform, Docker
  • Languages: Python (Flask, Django, PyTest), TypeScript, Shell scripting
  • DevOps: GitLab CI/CD, pre-commit hooks, automated security scanning
  • Containers: Multi-stage builds, Chainguard images, container orchestration

🌱 On my learning wishlist: Kubernetes, Go, and Rust. I am really interested in these technologies

🧑‍🔬 Previous life: 10+ years as marine physicist and research scientist. I developed Python libraries to process data from ocean robots 🤖, research ships 🚢, and satellites 🛰️. Published 30+ scientific papers and spent 200+ days at sea 🌊. This background gives me unique approach to problem-solving and working with complex systems.

🏠 When not coding: Maintaining my homelab with self-hosted services and exploring Europe and UK in our campervan 🚐

🛠️ Some technologies I work with:

Python AWS Docker Terraform GitLab Flask

📊 Recent focus areas:

  • 🔒 Security automation: Implementing zero-CVE container images and automated security scanning
  • 🧪 Testing & Quality: Transforming legacy applications with comprehensive test coverage
  • 🚀 Platform engineering: Building developer-friendly infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines
  • 👥 Team enablement: Mentoring engineers and sharing knowledge through pair programming
