Co-Founder at Calitem, building software after developing data platforms and streaming solutions at Betclic Group.

At Betclic Group, I developed and deployed APIs, implemented real-time event processing with Flink, and industrialized data science algorithms using SageMaker and Airflow. I also contributed to project architecture and maintained a Snowflake data lake with near real-time and batch ingestions.

At TheFork, a TripAdvisor company, I implemented data pipelines and reverse ETL, introduced the platform’s first micro-batch pipeline, and implemented dbt for warehouse transformations. I now co-found Calitem, and I enjoy building software to make the most significant impact possible.
