About Eliott

Industrial automation engineer, I forged my skills on large-scale international projects – commissioning water treatment, methanation, and waste facilities in North Africa, the Middle East, Canada, and Europe, for demanding municipal and industrial clients.
This field experience gave me a comprehensive understanding of the industrial value chain: from sensors and control loops to performance ratios, including operations and maintenance. I understand what "reliable data" means in a constrained industrial environment – heterogeneous protocols, aging equipment, poorly documented instrumentation.
I then specialized in leveraging OT data: designing acquisition pipelines, time-series storage, and business dashboards – applied to connected and geographically dispersed equipment, particularly in the hydrogen sector.
This dual expertise in field operations and data engineering allows me to intervene in three types of situations: heavy industry with existing equipment to modernize, SMEs dealing with historically unexploited data, and startups building their stack from scratch.
I work on a freelance basis, on in-depth subjects as well as targeted deliverables.
