Context: Data Transformation Program
● Mapped the existing data landscape (Data Hub, Data Lab, Apps, BI) on a hybrid environment (private cloud DMZR, OnPrem RedHat/Citrix): integration gaps, technical debts, and obsolescence risks — translated into an incremental roadmap to secure migration without disruption.
● Designed the target architecture: platform components, application patterns, API contracts, cloud sizing, and non-functional requirements (resilience, performance, security, observability) — delivered as DAT.
● Led the selection of technological components. Scoped and monitored the production deployment of tools like Dataiku and Spark.
● Organized and industrialized deployment environments: CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins), infra and pipeline monitoring, alerting and observability, DataOps practices.
● Defined the security and regulatory compliance framework: testing, obsolescence management, traceability of access and rights.
● Built operational continuity plans: failover strategies, backup, restore, incident recovery — runbooks written, SLAs.
● Contribution to Steering: scope, milestones, backlogs, agile facilitation, coordination with data engineers/dev and iops, cross-functional interface prod/security/continuity/business, reporting to sponsor.
● Mentored teams: presentations on architecture patterns and best practices, acculturation to data products and DataOps concepts.
● Delivered several use cases in production: e.g., commercial targeting, commercial renewal, risk calculation, etc.
● Contributed to architecture committees and reviews with business stakeholders in several countries — deliverables maintained throughout the program (DAT, ADR, maps, Archi/Draw.io diagrams).

Context: Cloud migration and industrialization of a cross-business data platform
● Defined the target architecture on a hybrid environment in collaboration with the IT department, the data office, and business teams.
● Selected and integrated Domino Data Lab into production: evaluation, PoC, group SI integration — environments industrialized via CI/CD (Jenkins, GitLab), Domino workloads containerized on Kubernetes.
● Designed end-to-end data pipelines: ingestion from heterogeneous sources (Oracle, Dynamics 365, Open Data…), loading and transformation into raw and gold layers, data products exposed via API — decoupled and stable interfaces for BI dashboards and operational applications.
● Structured the operation and reliability of pipelines: orchestration (Airflow, Talend), monitoring and alerting (Dynatrace, ELK/Kibana), incident and quality management in production.
● Defined the data architecture standards for the scope: modeling, access control, anonymization, and privacy by design — co-built with data stewards in compliance with GDPR.
● Supported team maturity development: presentations on data patterns, PoCs to challenge and validate technological choices, acculturation to data platforms/products and DataOps pipelines concepts.
● Managed delivery: scoping, backlogs, agile facilitation, coordination of data engineers and developers, reporting to sponsor, interface prod/security/business.
● Produced architecture deliverables (DAT, ADR, maps) and led alignment workshops with technical teams and the data office.
