About Wicem

Data Architect & Lead Data Engineer freelance, 8 years on modern data platforms in cloud environments (GCP, AWS, Snowflake).

I design and industrialize data platforms end-to-end: target architecture, multi-source ingestion, dimensional modeling, Airflow orchestration, dbt transformations, Snowflake security, Terraform infra, CI/CD, and observability.

My strong differentiator is the DataOps dimension: I cover infra, deployments, and monitoring, not just data pipelines. This avoids dependency on DevOps teams and accelerates production deployment.

Hybrid Product Owner / Data Engineer background: understanding of business challenges and ability to translate needs into architecture.

Recent missions: L'Occitane Group, Austral Energie, Okeiro (HDS health), NEOBRAIN, Decathlon.

Available for Data Architecture, Lead Data Engineering, DataOps missions — tech, retail, industry, health.

    RETAIL (LARGE RETAILERS)
    October 2025 - Today (8 months)
    Genève, Switzerland
    ===== Context ====
    Strategic migration from legacy SAP BW to Snowflake and Power BI. Enterprise scope: multi-brand (L'Occitane, Erborian, Melvita), multi-country (Europe, Asia, America). Integrated into a structured data team, with full ownership of assigned tasks, coordinating with relevant internal teams (IT, QA, Retail, E-commerce, Master Data).

    ==== Achievements ====
    - Unified Customer Master Data: designed the multi-source ingestion architecture (POS, e-commerce, CRM, MDM) into Snowflake. Implemented loading pipelines, dbt transformation views, and data freshness monitoring via Airflow.
    - Snowflake Data Sharing: cross-account access to customer master data with automated backup mechanism.
    - Multi-country E-commerce Pipeline: incremental dbt models covering several international markets (UK, Japan, Australia, Ireland). Managed data temporal consistency constraints.
    - Shopify Integration via Fivetran: connector configuration, dbt modeling of e-commerce data, and synchronization into the Snowflake data warehouse.
    - B2C E-reporting Tax Compliance: designed the aggregation and export pipeline for tax declaration. Managed initial and corrective versions, Airflow orchestration.
    - Quality & CI/CD: implemented a complete quality chain: dbt tests, automatic SQL linting, CI/CD pipeline on Bitbucket to ensure no regression in production.

    ==== Results ====
    - Operational enterprise architecture: 3 brands, 15+ countries, 30+ data sources unified in a centralized customer master data repository.
    - 60% reduction in e-commerce report delivery time thanks to incremental dbt models.
    - B2C e-reporting tax compliance operational before regulatory deadline.
    - dbt CI/CD deployed in production: zero regressions since implementation.

    ENERGY AND UTILITIES
    January 2026 - April 2026 (3 months)
    Paris, France
    ===== Context ====
    Photovoltaic scale-up with international growth, no data team upon arrival; data was maintained poorly by back-end developers.
    Mission: industrialize the data platform end-to-end (infra, DataOps, orchestration, modeling, dataviz) and support team upskilling on the modern data stack and production best practices.

    ==== Achievements ====
    - Target Architecture: mapped existing systems and designed a cloud-native Snowflake + dbt + Airflow platform.
    - Snowflake Security: full audit, access cleanup, MFA, RSA, role separation, and account-level network policy.
    - Orchestration Overhaul: migrated ~35 jobs from an unreliable stack to containerized Airflow, with operational ETL → dbt dependencies and alerting.
    - Airflow Industrialization: self-hosted deployment, git-sync, custom dbt image, GitLab CI/CD.
    - Secrets Management: implemented AWS Secrets Manager with IAM, migrated credentials out of .env files.
    - dbt Industrialization: DEV / STAGING / PROD environments, multi-stage CI/CD (SQLFluff, dbt compile, dbt test), freshness monitoring.
    - Unified Customer Master Data: multi-source dimensional modeling (CRM, ERP, field, accounting) with reconciliation by similarity matching.
    - Business Reporting: sales, profitability, after-sales service, and quality marts connected to Power BI for management and Metabase for operations.
    - Team Acculturation: trained back-end developers on Airflow, dbt, Snowflake, and industrialization practices (Git, CI/CD, secrets, tests).

    ==== Results ====
    - Industrialized data platform delivered in 3 months.
    - +30% potential revenue identified.
    - Prospect quality x2: 33,000 duplicates/triplicates cleaned.
    - Reduced Snowflake attack surface.
    - Daily installation time tracked by management thanks to Power BI dashboard.
    - Team autonomous on the modern data stack.
