- Integration into adynamic teamof Data Scientists as a **Data Engineer**, contributing to data cleaning and preparation for model training.
- Design of apreprocessing servicein **Python**, deployed with **FastAPI**, dedicated to data optimization.
- Complete implementation of a **CI/CD approach**, including **tests**, code formatting, **security checks**, and deployment stages.
- Restructuring of existing code to optimize it and adapt it to current development standards.
This model wassuccessfully deployedin several countries within the group, and the results obtained were very positive, confirming the value of the implemented approach. - BloomData EngineerSOFTWARE PUBLISHINGApril 2021 - September 2022 (1 year and 5 months)Levallois-Perret, FranceAt Bloom, a company specializing insocial network analysisfor security, defense, and marketing, I worked onimplementing an ETLbetween data scraped from different platforms (Facebook, Twitter, etc.), processing it in **Python/Kafka**, and then loading it into a graph-oriented database for later use by the Data Scientists team.

- **Performance optimization**, scalability management, and resource consumption control.
- Refactoring of theclassification algorithmand automation of data loading toAWS S3.
- Approach combining technical rigor, collaboration, and innovation.
This V2 of the platform demonstrated its effectiveness and robustness, but was eventually replaced by a more performant **Spark-based ETL**, better suited to the operational needs of the tool. - SouthpigalleData EngineerSOFTWARE PUBLISHINGSeptember 2018 - April 2021 (2 years and 7 months)Paris, FranceAtSouthpigalle(now part of the **Meytis group**), I worked on the design and deployment of architectures dedicated to **NLU**.This startup specialized inNLPexploitation to enable companies to access and leverage customer data.
- Design of anNLP micro-services architecture**, covering the entire chain: from **preprocessingtomachine learning algorithms.
- Close collaboration with Data Scientists for theimplementation of a sentiment analysis modelbased on **BERT**, and integration of advanced language preprocessing libraries.
- Development of specializedmicro-servicesfor NLU, communicating via aGunicorn/Flask API**, allowing dynamic enrichment of **JSON objects.
- Creation of anExpert-System Genius**, exploiting **NLPto automatically convert natural language sentences intoGraphQLqueries.
- Collection and integration of user feedback, deployment, and maintenance of all services on Kubernetes.
- Approach based on **technical rigor**, co-construction with the team, and constant innovation.
I participated in the implementation of a high-performance NLP model, which was successfully used in several concrete projects for prestigious clients in theluxuryandfood industries.
