- GIVENCHYLead Data Engineer / GCP Architect – DataPlatform ProjectLUXURY GOODSJune 2023 - Today (3 years and 2 months)Paris, FranceChallenge: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.
- GROUPE TF1Data Engineer Azure DatabricksPRESS AND MEDIAFebruary 2020 - February 2023 (3 years)Boulogne-Billancourt, FranceChallenge:Industrialization and scalability of audience and advertising data flows via a Lakehouse architecture.🛠️ Achievements (The "How")
- Medallion Architecture:Implementation ofBronze, Silver, and Goldzones onAzure Data Lake Storage (ADLS Gen2)using theDelta Lakeformat to ensure transaction ACID compliance and data quality.
- Databricks & PySpark Development:Design of optimized Spark notebooks and jobs to transform massive volumes of audience data in real-time and batch.
- Python Industrialization:Creation of modular Python libraries and classes to standardize the ingestion of heterogeneous data into the Data Lake.
- Performance Optimization:Advanced management of partitioning and indexing to reduce compute costs and speed up analytical queries.
📈 Results & Impact:- Productivity:Standardization of data pipelines reducing development time for new flows.
- Reliability:Implementation of a Lakehouse architecture enabling a "single source of truth" (Gold Layer) for business reports.
- Performance:Optimization of Databricks clusters, reducing processing times on large audience volumes.
- NATIXISBI Consultant Azure (POC)BANKING AND INSURANCEOctober 2019 - February 2020 (4 months)Paris, FranceChallenge:Design and implementation of a POC (Proof of Concept) to automate sales reporting via a 100% Azure Cloud architecture.Description:As part of the modernization of steering tools, I implemented an end-to-end decision-making architecture, enabling the transformation of raw data (flat files) into interactive insights for business departments.Key Achievements:
- Co-Administration & Infrastructure:Provisioning of Azure resources (**Azure SQL Database, Storage, Analysis Services**) via the Azure portal.
- Ingestion & ETL:Development of integration flows withAzure Data Factory (ADF)to automate the ingestion of source files (CSV) into SQL Server.
- Data Warehouse Modeling:Design of the star schema (fact and dimension tables) and creation of optimized SQL views.
- Semantic Architecture:Implementation and deployment of the tabular cube underAzure Analysis Services (AAS)to ensure optimal calculation performance on large volumes.
- Data Visualization:Design, development, and production deployment of interactive dashboards under **Power BI**.
Results:- Technical validation of the POC, allowing for a transition to larger-scale industrialization.
- Centralization of sales data in a secure "Single Source of Truth" on Azure.
