About Nicolas

Senior Data Engineer with 10 years of experience in designing and implementing robust and scalable data systems.

I work across the entire value chain: architecture, pipeline development, modeling, and performance optimization, in both startup and more structured environments.

Key experiences:
- Complete redesign of an IoT data platform at Fractal Energy (AWS, MQTT, TimescaleDB)
- Scaling backend and data systems at Probayes (PostgreSQL, microservices, CI/CD)
- Design of distributed pipelines and team management at Realytics

Main stack: Python, SQL, Spark, AWS/Azure, distributed systems.

I am particularly interested in scalability, reliability, and production deployment challenges.
