2025 was a year where many small things gradually came together.
Most of the year was spent working across different parts of Qovery, shipping features, iterating on existing ones, and paying closer attention to how interfaces actually feel once they’re in users’ hands.
Alongside this, my personal portfolio kept evolving as a space to explore ideas, interactions, and visual details.
This post is a short overview of the work that shaped my year.

A year at Qovery
Observability
One area I spent time on was Observability, with a simple goal: giving teams a clear view of what’s happening in their applications, without adding new tools or complex setups.
This included basic Monitoring, Service Logs Filtering, and Alerting. The intention wasn’t to compete Datadog, New Relic, and others, but to offer simple monitoring and logging, fully integrated with Qovery’s context.
The Cluster Overview was built to give users a quick understanding of how a cluster is using its resources. A lot of the work went into deciding what should be visible at a glance and what could stay in the background without feeling overwhelming.
It was redesigned to help users quickly understand what happened during a deployment.
I improved the navigation, allowing users to search across the platform. It enables users to access views and actions faster, without having to click through multiple screens.
During a hackathon, I started working on an early prototype of DevOps AI Copilot. The goal was to explore how AI could help users better understand their infrastructure and perform actions. I didn’t continue working on this project afterward, but the team kept developing it.
And of course, many other small things that I won’t detail here.

Personal portfolio
I continued improving my personal portfolio, it’s a place where I love to share my thoughts and ideas.
Looking ahead
Grateful for what 2025 brought, in 2026 I want to keep building products that are clear, intentional, and pleasant to use.
Tools and AI make building faster, but choosing what to build, and how it should feel, still matters a lot. I want to keep paying attention to details, learning from good products, and creating things that feel simple and clear to use.
