A retraining that is built, not improvised
An ongoing higher-education degree, complemented by an intensive bootcamp and two development internships.
Bachelor's in Management Programming
ISL, adult education track, alongside a professional activity.
Java Full Stack bootcamp
TechnoFutur TIC.
Internship, software architect
Microsoft ecosystem.
Internship, Java/.NET development

Before the retraining
Telecom technician, Belgian Defence (2013-2017). Security officer, European Commission (2022-2023). Field experience and operational discipline, reinvested in cyber.
What's verifiable today
Two certifications structure the build-up of cloud and network skills.
AZ-900, Microsoft Azure Fundamentals
The basics of Azure cloud: concepts, services, security, compliance and pricing.
- Cloud concepts (25–30%)Shared responsibility model, IaaS / PaaS / SaaS, public / private / hybrid cloud, consumption-based model, high availability & scalability.
- Azure architecture & services (35–40%)Regions & availability zones, resource groups and subscriptions, compute (VMs, containers, functions), networking (VNet, VPN, ExpressRoute, DNS), storage (blob, tiers, redundancy), identity (Entra ID, MFA, RBAC, Zero Trust, Defender for Cloud).
- Management & governance (30–35%)Cost management (pricing calculator, tags), governance (Azure Policy, resource locks, Purview), deployment (portal, CLI / PowerShell, ARM & IaC, Azure Arc), monitoring (Advisor, Service Health, Azure Monitor).
Why this certification
The AZ-900 lays the cloud fundamentals. It's my starting point: it opens the way to AZ-104 (Azure administration). A deliberate entry point, not a stack of certifications.
CCNA, Cisco
Reference network certification: switching, routing, basic infrastructure security.
- Network fundamentals & access (40%)OSI / TCP-IP models, cabling & interfaces, VLANs, 802.1Q trunking, EtherChannel, Spanning Tree, Wi-Fi & WLAN architecture.
- IP connectivity & services (35%)Static routing & OSPF, IPv4 / IPv6 addressing, NAT, DHCP, DNS, NTP, QoS, SNMP, Syslog.
- Security & automation (25%)Port security, ACLs, VPNs, AAA & 802.1X, hardening practices, REST APIs, automation (Ansible) & programmable networking.
Why this certification
Digging into cloud made one thing clear: you don't really master the cloud without mastering networks. So I branched into the CCNA, before coming back to AZ-104. Networks first, cloud after.

Four steps clearly shown as such: a path ahead, not results already earned.
- 01
Finish the CCNA
Network certification in progress, the natural next step before returning to cloud.
- 02
AZ-104, Azure administration
Pick Azure administration back up once networks are solid.
- 03
AZ-500 and CompTIA Security+
The security foundation: Azure security and a cross-cutting security certification.
- 04
Horizon: Architect level
Aim for Architect level in the years that follow, as the culmination of the path.
The technical base built so far
Cloud & Azure
Solid foundation in Azure cloud (AZ-900): concepts, security and best practices.
Networks & infrastructure
Networks and infrastructure, reinforced by the CCNA in progress (Cisco).
Application security

Entrepreneurial initiative
On weekends I run my own organic-crêpe stand at fairs and flea markets around Liège. A small venture that teaches me customer contact, autonomy and hands-on management — from sourcing to the till.
