🚀 Lead Data Engineer | Multi-Cloud Expertise (GCP & Azure)
10 years of Data Experience / 5+ years in Cloud Engineering

Helping companies transform and industrialize their data platforms is at the core of my profession. With a solid background combining classic Data culture (BI/SQL) and native Cloud technologies, I am involved in the design, development, and deployment of scalable pipelines.

🛠Key Skills:
  • GCP Environment:Advanced mastery of the Google Cloud ecosystem (BigQuery, Dataflow via Apache Beam, Cloud Composer/Airflow, Pub/Sub).
  • Azure Environment:Expertise in Databricks (PySpark), Azure Data Factory, Synapse, and SQL Database.
  • Industrialization & DevOps:Complete infrastructure automation viaTerraform(IaC) and CI/CD pipeline implementation.
  • Migration & Architecture:Expertise in migrating Legacy systems (SSIS/SQL Server type) to modern Cloud architectures (Medallion Architecture).

📈 Notable References:
I have had the pleasure of bringing my expertise to leaders in various sectors:
  • Luxury (Givenchy/LVMH):Design and Optimization of complex data flows on GCP.
  • Automotive (Stellantis):Technical design and development on massive Data environments.
  • Media (TF1) & Finance (Natixis):Design of robust architectures and data lifecycle management.

🤝 Why work with me?
Beyond the technical aspects, my role asLead Engineerallows me to bridge the gap between business needs and technical constraints, while ensuring maintainable, secure, and optimized code (FinOps).

    Challenge:Migration of a legacy ecosystem (SQL Server/SSIS) to a modern and scalable ELT platform on GCP.

    🎯Context & Objectives:
    The goal was to replace an aging and costly on-premise infrastructure with a cloud-native architecture capable of supporting the brand's international growth and unifying Retail, E-commerce, and Marketing data.

    🛠️ Achievements (The "How")
    • Architecture & Ingestion (T1):Design and deployment of streaming/batch pipelines via **Dataflow (Python/Apache Beam)**, ensuring the ingestion of millions of daily events with "Late Data" management.
    • Modeling & Governance (T2):Migration of complex business logic toBigQueryusingDataform (SQLX)to ensure versioning, documentation, and data quality (assertions).
    • Infrastructure as Code (IaC):Complete infrastructure automation via **Terraform**, enabling 100% reproducible multi-environment deployment (Dev, Staging, Prod).
    • Orchestration & CI/CD:Implementation of complex workflows underCloud Composer (Airflow)and continuous integration via Cloud Build.

    📈 Results & Impact (The Numbers):
    • OPEX Reduction: -30%on overall cloud billing.
    • Performance:Data availability time (Time-to-market) reduced by80%(from D+1 to visibility in minutes).
    • Reliability:Pipeline success rate increased from 85% to99%thanks to automation and data testing.
