About Miguel

Software engineer from Tours with 20 years of experience, I confirmed my role as Tech Lead during a 6-year adventure as Team Lead in a health startup, starting in 2014, where I designed the architecture, recruited and led a team of 3 to 10 developers, and delivered a solution used by over 6,400 patients in two hospital units.
I design robust and scalable distributed systems using the Scala functional ecosystem (Fs2, Cats Effect, Http4s, Doobie): complex business services, event stream integration and processing (Kafka), data storage and querying (PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, Redis), API exposure. This dual mastery of backend and data streams allows me to intervene effectively on data engineering issues, particularly in designing reliable pipelines and managing large-scale data consistency. I have worked in demanding fields in this regard — cryptocurrencies (Ledger), international logistics (Geodis), PCI-certified payment (Ingenico), and IT security (TheHive).
Beyond code, I bring a culture of quality: rigorous code reviews, pair programming, technical mentoring, and supporting teams in adopting functional practices.

    Within a team dedicated to modernizing Geodis' sales tools (digital factory), I participated in the development of software for establishing prices for maritime and air freight transport of goods between two locations worldwide. This tool relies on the carrier price repository API maintained by the same team.
    I participated in the product development until its launch-ready version. Here are some of the features developed:
    • Mapping the file containing all cargo routing requests with their constraints
    • Segmentation of each customer request into segments assigned to the sales teams responsible for the relevant regions
    • Pricing automation: automatic retrieval of valid prices for the period from the Geodis repository to establish an initial quote
    • Verification of the validity of each commercial proposal
    After an initial testing phase, technical adjustments were made:
    • Optimization of costly SQL queries in both systems
    • - Identification of queries eligible for optimization
    • - Execution plan analysis
    • - Rewriting
    • Control of price flow to maintain acceptable working conditions
