Benoît Besson
Senior software engineer / Responsable technique applicatif — I structure and take back control of
complex distributed systems: backend Java / Spring at the core, Python and Angular around it,
and the whole delivery chain — GitLab CI, Kubernetes, Terraform, observability (OpenTelemetry, SLOs), security.
Based in Toulouse, France
🚀 Featured — Iris-7
My flagship engineering showcase lives here on GitLab: gitlab.com/iris-7 — a polyrepo family demonstrating production-grade practices end to end, with the real CI pipelines running here.
| Project | What it demonstrates |
|---|---|
| iris-service-java | Spring Boot 4 / Java 25 — hexagonal-lite, OAuth2/OIDC + RBAC, Kafka, OTel → LGTM, SLOs as code, Spring AI + MCP, SB3/SB4 × Java 17/21/25 compat matrix |
| iris-ui | Angular 21 zoneless — signals, raw-SVG dashboards, mobile-first, Playwright E2E |
| iris-service-python | FastAPI + Pydantic v2 + SQLAlchemy 2 async — mypy strict, 90%+ coverage gate |
| iris-service-shared | Terraform (GKE), K8s, OTel collector, Grafana dashboards, cost-guarded provisioning |
| iris-common | Release engineering, Conventional Commits CI, ADR tooling, Renovate base |
Every stable-v* tag carries a full verification annotation — what was tested, what is known-limited, and why.
