What I'm looking for

I seek a full-remote role (open to remote in France) focused on designing scalable, cloud-agnostic infrastructures and industrializing modern AI workflows, with opportunities to mentor and drive GenAI adoption.

I am a Senior Data Engineer with 8+ years building robust data pipelines and cloud infrastructures on Google Cloud Platform, focused on DataOps and Infrastructure as Code using Terraform. I bridge traditional data engineering with modern Generative AI needs and actively upskill in LLM integration tools like LangChain, LangFlow, and Agent Dev Kit.

At Fifty-five I orchestrated large-scale marketing data workflows, implemented IaC and serverless deployments, and helped reduce KPI delivery time by 30% while cutting technical onboarding from four weeks to five days. I have delivered GenAI prototypes and participated in ADK/MCP hackathons to integrate LLMs into enterprise workflows.

I mentor and train teams, having designed a technical program for five junior engineers at Starclay and enforced software craftsmanship through code reviews and development guidelines. I hold a Professional Data Engineer GCP certification and a Master’s degree in Computer Science.
