About Ahcene

Ensure the reliability of your data and the success of your deployments.


Too many Data projects fail or are delayed due to poor data quality or an unclear testing strategy. With over 7 years of experience in Data QA and Technical-Functional Testing, I help secure your data flows, from extraction to visualization.

🎯 Why work with me?
My hybrid profile allows me to understand both business needs (User Stories, business rules) and technical constraints (Azure Pipelines, complex SQL scripts, Cloud environments).

I have supported CAC 40 leaders and major groups (Engie, Orange, Les Mousquetaires) on critical data migration and data quality issues.

🛠 What I bring to your projects:
Test Strategy & QA Lead: Definition of test plans, QA team management, and implementation of acceptance testing processes (Agile SCRUM).

Data Quality (Data QA): Pipeline testing (Azure Databricks/ADF), consistency verification via SQL, and repository enrichment (Data Galaxy).

Critical Migrations (SAP S/4HANA, Oracle): Data mapping, execution of transformation scripts, and securing production cutovers.

Data Visualization & BI: Power BI expertise (report design and server administration) to transform your data into decision-support tools.

💻 My technical stack:
Cloud & Data: Azure (Databricks, ADF, Data Lake), AWS S3, SQL Server, Snowflake, Talend.

Testing Tools: JIRA/XRAY, Squash, SoapUI, Postman, Jenkins (CI/CD).

Environment: SAP (ADM, IDOC), PeopleSoft, Agile/Scrum.
