"You gotta do what you gotta do." — Frank Gallagher (though I prefer writing code to his schemes)

I'm a French IT Project Manager, Full-Stack Web Developer and Data Engineer based in 🗼 Paris. I enjoy building end-to-end solutions — from data pipelines and dashboards to full-stack web apps and infra automation. It works on my machine ™️ (and in production, thanks to Docker 🐳).

Current role: Data Engineer / Full Stack Developer at Argedis (TotalEnergies subsidiary) — turning coffee ☕ into code and data into insights 📊.

"Surviving is the only thing that matters." — But I'd rather thrive with clean code and solid infrastructure.

Tech enthusiast with hands-on experience in data engineering, full-stack development (C#, Python, React/Next.js), DevOps and system administration. Skilled at delivering quick wins (Power BI, ETL, automation) while designing longer-term platform solutions (Databricks, AWS, governance).

Key strengths:

• 🤝 Stakeholder collaboration (I speak both human and machine languages)
• ⚡ Rapid prototyping (move fast, break things... then fix them properly)
• 🏗️ Pragmatic architecture (YAGNI but also future-proof)
• 🐳 Containerization (because "works on my machine" is not a deployment strategy)
• 📊 Data-driven reporting (in data we trust)

• ✅ Prefer small, iterative deliveries with documentation and code formatting
• 🐳 Use containers for reproducible environments and deployments (because "it works on my machine" is not an excuse)
• 🤖 Focus on automating repetitive tasks and building observable systems
• 📝 Comments are love letters to your future self — write them
• 🧪 Tests are documentation that runs — also write them
• 🚀 Ship fast, iterate faster — but don't break production (again)

• 🏠 Built a home datacenter before it was cool (okay, it's still not cool, but it's mine)
• 🚗 Can fix your car and your code (both involve lots of googling)
• 🪂 Paragliding enthusiast — flying is debugging gravity
• 🏸 Badminton player — smashing bugs in real life too
• 🐧 Linux user — I use Arch btw (just kidding, Debian is fine)
• ☕ Coffee-driven development — git commit && brew coffee
