About Sebastien

Most pipelines that fail in production don't fail because of the code. They fail because no one considered what happens when malformed data arrives, when the volume triples, or when an upstream service changes without notice.
On my projects: quarantine non-compliant records rather than silent rejection, historical logging for auditability, batch stamping for selective replay from bronze without recalculating everything, etc. Choices that seem minor until the day they prevent a sleepless night.
Useful if you're looking for someone who can understand the problem before choosing the tool, and work autonomously from design to implementation.
Full remote or hybrid in Lyon and its surroundings. Available immediately.

    REAL ESTATE
    August 2023 - Today (3 years)
    Paris, France
    Full ownership of the data layer for a proprietary ERP serving a national network of associations.
    Migration & Integration:
    Design and implementation of automated migration pipelines (Python + SQL Server) — ingestion of heterogeneous CSV/Excel files from legacy ERPs, transformation and mapping to the target schema, automatic integrity validation, optimized batch insertion with memory load management on the query optimizer. Client switchover time: 5 to 30 minutes depending on volume.
    Geospatial Visualization:
    Development of a custom interactive mapping web tool (Leaflet, OpenStreetMap) — CSV/Excel upload, configurable representation (clustering, auto-adapted legend for variable type, multi-column tooltips). Fully autonomous deployment for non-technical users.

    ENVIRONMENTAL
    February 2024 - November 2024 (9 months)
    Paris, France
    Real-time commercial fishing fleet tracking platform (European waters) — team of 15+ backend contributors, 3-5 frontend.
    Architecture & Design:
    Full ownership of the transformation layer: gathering client functional requirements, translating them into technical specifications, designing the multi-level architecture (Bronze → Silver → Silver+). Documented and justified modeling decisions — deliberate denormalization to avoid JOIN overhead on geospatial queries, one-shot calculation of trajectories on immutable data, batch stamping for selective replay from Bronze in case of failure.
    Implementation:
    Python/SQLAlchemy pipeline processing 6-7 million historical positions in initial migration, then 1,400 positions every 15 minutes in continuous mode. Transformation of raw GPS points into segments [T-1 → T] then into expeditions (SCD) — output consumed directly by the frontend API service. Detection of port presence via PostGIS intersection with pre-calculated Voronoi geometries (5km radius) combined with a speed threshold (<0.1 knots). Systematic intersection verification with regulatory zones for each created segment.
