EDF Renewables · Data Lab Integration · 14 months

Involved in setting up a Data Lab at EDF Renewables aimed at centralizing and streamlining data access and analysis across various departments, using advanced AWS services. The project was part of the AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) and began with the implementation of Data.all for basic data integration, later transitioning to Amorphic to meet growing requirements. Responsibilities included configuring Data.all with AWS services, establishing initial workflows and pipelines, then managing the full migration to Amorphic — reconfiguring data models and pipelines for the new system. Developed training materials and conducted onboarding sessions for both technical and non-technical users. Led all English-language communications, coordinating with EDF Renewables' internal teams and the London-based external development team. Tools: AWS SageMaker, Athena, S3, Glue, CDK, Data.all, Amorphic.

Internal · Salesforce ↔ Snowflake Integration · 3 months

Led the technical development of a bidirectional integration between Salesforce and Snowflake. Designed the data architecture, implemented ingestion from Salesforce to Snowflake, applied dbt transformations on the data, and re-ingested the processed results back into Salesforce. Also developed BI dashboards that improved data accessibility for business users. Tools: dbt, Snowflake, Salesforce.

Datanumia · EDF Group · Data Platform Industrialization · 3 months

Worked on redesigning Datanumia's data platform within the EDF Group.

Responsibilities included redesigning the data architecture, improving data workflows, configuring the Redshift cluster, and managing data transformation and testing. Produced detailed project documentation stored on Amazon S3. Tools: AWS Lambda, S3, Glue, Redshift, dbt, Python.

Internship · Cloud Data Platform Industrialization · 6 months

Initiated my career at Ippon with a 6-month internship focused on developing and industrializing a cloud-native data platform using open-source tools. Set up cloud infrastructure with Terraform, implemented data ingestion from PostgreSQL to Redshift via Airbyte, performed data transformations with dbt, and built interactive dashboards in Superset. Platform security was ensured using AWS Secrets Manager and Keycloak. Tools: Redshift, dbt, Superset, Terraform, Keycloak, Airflow, Airbyte, Docker.
