About Roland

Analytics Engineer / BI Engineer, 5 years of experience across the entire data chain at Colas, an international construction group (€16 billion in revenue), part of the Bouygues group.

I design performance management decision-making platforms in the equipment (asset management) ecosystem: Databricks lakehouse data pipelines and gold models, SQL/DAX development, Power BI report production used daily by several thousand users in 32 countries.

Specifically, I use data daily to manage the performance of a fleet of 60,000 pieces of equipment worldwide and ~€200 million in annual investments.

My added value: I bridge the gap between IT (Data Engineers, Data Scientists) and business units. I translate a vague need into an exploitable data model, and I deliver a tool that users actually adopt — not just another dashboard.

What I can help you with:

Data architecture and modeling (lakehouse, data architecture: bronze/silver/gold layers)

Power BI development and optimization: advanced DAX, Power Query/M, performance, RLS, TMDL

Industrialization and deployment of reporting at various scales (multi-country, multi-ERP)

Audit and redesign of existing reports: performance, data reliability, UX

Implementation of good data governance and documentation practices

Stack: Power BI (DAX, Power Query/M, TMDL), Databricks, SQL, Azure, Python, Git.

Available for remote work or on-site in the Île-de-France region. French, English, Mandarin.
