Andre Kanmegne
Platform & AI Engineer — Kubernetes · GitOps · AI Governance
Paris, France
I design and operate a production-grade Kubernetes platform simulating the complete IS of a B2B insurance company — from GitOps delivery to AI governance, ACPR compliance, and DORA metrics. 90+ phases, 54+ active workloads.
The platform covers all three layers: infrastructure (k3s, ArgoCD, Vault, Longhorn), AI engineering (LiteLLM, vLLM, Qdrant RAG, Langfuse, minicloud-crew-agent), and insurance IS (ERPNext PCG 2025, Temporal workflows, n8n automation, Stalwart mail, Matrix, Jitsi).

My Journey
Work Experience
IT Automation & Applications Engineer (Apprentice)
Sep 2024 - Present
HDI Global SE France, Paris
- Automation & Development: Built Python automation for claims processing and business workflows, cutting manual batch handling (~70% faster claims-invoice cycle) and improving data quality; added automated QC reports and dashboards that removed recurring manual checks for the Finance team.
- Business Applications & ITSM: Administered and supported 8+ critical enterprise applications used by the Claims, Underwriting, Finance and HR teams, and administered the GLPI ITSM platform — contributing to its functional and technical evolution.
- Cloud & Modern Workplace: Contributed to the group’s workplace-cloudification programme (Windows 365 / Global Cloud Desktop, Microsoft Intune) through testing, validation and user-adoption support, and supported on-premise→Azure application migration.
- IAM & IT Operations: Managed business roles and access for several hundred users across enterprise applications, handled full onboarding/offboarding, and resolved N2/N3 incidents in coordination with HR and the central German teams.
- IT Projects & AI Transformation: Coordinated IT actions between the French and German (HDI Group) teams, produced user procedures and technical documentation, and scoped a prototype AI integration for the ITSM platform to improve support and knowledge management.
