Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

Software engineer turned Data & Business Intelligence expert, with over 8 years of experience in managing complex data projects, application maintenance, and leading multidisciplinary teams. I evolved from technical roles (application maintenance, BI development) to managerial and strategic responsibilities, notably in multi-ERP integration, data governance, and digital transformation in cloud environments (Azure and GCP).

My background includes significant experience in the public sector (Sopra Steria), retail (Celio), sports (French Tennis Federation), and event management (GL Events), allowing me to gain a cross-functional understanding of business and technical challenges related to data.

I am proficient in designing and deploying BI solutions (Power BI, SQL Server, Azure Data Factory, Databricks), leading teams (up to 5 people), managing the data roadmap, and supporting change management with users. Results-oriented and collaborative, I am a driving force in leveraging data to support strategic decision-making.
