About Victor

Data & DevOps Engineer

I help teams build reliable, scalable, and secure data platforms

I intervene where the challenges are concrete:
👉 unstable pipelines
👉 exploding cloud costs
👉 lack of data visibility
👉 infrastructures that are difficult to maintain or secure

🎯 My goal: simple, robust, and understandable systems that stand the test of time

🧠 What I concretely bring to my clients:
• Design and implementation of Modern Data Stacks (Airbyte, DBT, BigQuery, Airflow)
• Automation and reliability of data pipelines (ELT / ETL)
• Optimization of costs and performance (cloud & data)
• Production deployment and operation of large-scale Kubernetes clusters
• Implementation of CI/CD, monitoring, logging, and alerting
• Security & compliance (SOC2, data protection, sensitive environments)
• Documentation: runbooks, architectures, procedures (so that everything doesn't rest on one person)

I have already:
• Maintained and evolved several products in production (registry, serverless, data platforms)
• Built and operated multi-cloud Kubernetes infrastructures
• Recreated a complete in-house data stack, from ingestion to dashboards
• Worked on projects with high reliability and security stakes
