TESTIMONIALS
“I worked with Edwin at Equativ from October 2025. He joined as a consultant on the team responsible for migrating our on-premise infrastructure to Google Cloud. Over that period he covered a broad scope: - network and compute foundations: IPv4/IPv6 addressing plan, VPC, IPAM and deployment of the first GKE clusters with Terraform/Terragrunt; - the clusters' platform services through ArgoCD (cert-manager, ExternalDNS, External Secrets, HAProxy) and the migration of secrets to Google Secret Manager; - the strategy and then the execution of the migration of the central services and their databases (PostgreSQL and SQL Server to Cloud SQL), through to the preproduction cutover and the production database migration; - FinOps work: cost per cluster size, autoscaling with KEDA, bin packing and right-sizing of workloads. Smoothly run projects, and a real pleasure working together.”

Senior Platform Engineer
“I've been working with Edwin on several projects over the past few years. He's a conscientious developer who consistently provides the most accurate and fitting solutions. Rigorous and pragmatic, he doesn't just code—I've witnessed his genuine interest in designing and architecting comprehensive solutions. I've been following his journey as a freelancer, and I have no doubt about the satisfaction he brings to his clients. His communication skills and technical knowledge are exceptional. Always willing to help others, he has the integrity to speak honestly and directly when needed. Even under heavy workloads, he consistently meets deadlines and delivers exactly what's expected. I couldn't recommend Edwin more highly. I've never been disappointed working with him, and I'm confident you won't be either.”

“I worked with Edwin on a mission to install NewRelic to better monitor an API, it was a real pleasure. He is both competent and involved, always ready to dig into a topic to find the best solution. In addition to being professional, he is really pleasant, which makes collaboration simple and effective.”
JÉRÉMIE GUICHOT
CEO
“I had the chance to collaborate with Edwin on several Cloud & DevOps projects (GCP, Terraform, Docker, GitHub, CI/CD, PostgreSQL). Working with Edwin was a real guarantee of project success. His technical expertise not only allowed us to move fast, but also to do so following best practices, with a strong focus on maintainability, scalability, sustainability, and cybersecurity. He consistently provided excellent follow-up, respected deadlines and budget, shared knowledge to make the team autonomous, and always came up with creative solutions whenever challenges arose. On top of that, he's great to work with on a human level, positive, approachable, and bringing good energy. A true partner you can trust, whom I highly recommend!”

“I contacted Edwin to review an infrastructure that we had built ourselves as part of a migration from Amazon ECS to Kubernetes. I really appreciated Edwin's service, who was able to quickly point out the things to correct/improve and understand the entire essence of our stack. Thanks to Edwin we were able to improve the security of our infrastructure as well as industrialize certain processes and also implement GitOps! Thank you Edwin for your work! :)”

“Edwin is someone who works autonomously and successfully leads the projects entrusted to him. He has been a driving force on various subjects, he has grown and helped grow the team. He integrated very well into the team despite the distance due to remote work, he demonstrated great ability to communicate with his team and other teams in the group, tracking his actions and projects was straightforward. Edwin doesn't need to be pushed to finish and deliver what's expected of him, he is proactive which makes things much easier.”
