About Brice

Data Engineer & IoT Architect

I help companies design solutions for collecting, processing, and leveraging data from connected systems, business applications, and cloud platforms.

With expertise in both Data Engineering and IoT architectures, I work across the entire data value chain: acquisition, transport, storage, transformation, exposure, and large-scale data utilization.

I assist clients in designing robust, secure, and scalable architectures capable of handling both real-time streams and batch processing, while ensuring data quality and availability.

My areas of intervention:

Data and IoT platform architecture;
ETL/ELT pipeline design and real-time processing;
Data collection and integration from connected objects, sensors, and APIs;
Implementation of streaming and messaging solutions (MQTT, RabbitMQ, Kafka);
Process orchestration and automation;
Cloud solution deployment and CI/CD industrialization;
Data valorization for BI, AI, and business applications;
Technical guidance and team support.

Technologies: Python, SQL, GCP, BigQuery, Airflow, Docker, Git, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MQTT, Node-RED, REST APIs, CI/CD, Data Engineering, IoT, MLOps.
