Expertise

Architecture-level capability, not just tooling.

Six areas where I consistently take ownership — from platform design to the operational practices that keep it reliable in production.

Apache NiFi Architecture

Design, optimization and governance of high-throughput NiFi platforms — flow architecture, processor tuning, registry-based version control, and high-availability configuration.

Event-Driven & Kafka

Kafka cluster operations, custom connectors, RabbitMQ bridging, topic strategy, and real-time integration patterns for distributed, event-driven systems.

ETL / ELT & Data Integration

Complex SQL pipelines and warehouse-loading strategies across heterogeneous sources — SQL Server, Oracle, and NoSQL stores — with a focus on data consistency.

APIs & Automation

Custom processors and RESTful services built with Spring Boot to extend platform capabilities, plus Python and Ansible automation for repeatable deployments.

Cloud & DevOps

Infrastructure automation on GCP and Azure, CI/CD pipelines, containerization with Docker, and infrastructure-as-code with Ansible.

Reliability & Observability

Monitoring stacks built on Grafana, Prometheus and the ELK stack, with incident response and root-cause analysis grounded in SRE practice.

Experience

Enterprise environments, real production stakes.

Three engagements, each centered on the same discipline: making complex data platforms fast, observable and safe to operate.

  1. Dec 2023 — Present Current

    Apache NiFi Expert / Data Integration Architect

    BNP Paribas — Paris

    • Own the architecture and reliability of a high-throughput NiFi platform handling ingestion, transformation and ETL into a SQL Server data warehouse.
    • Extended NiFi with custom Python processors and scripts to automate processing and support dynamic workflows.
    • Led the migration of unstructured pipelines to a structured, synchronized architecture, improving maintainability and execution consistency.
    • Established load-balancing and continuous monitoring strategies to guarantee platform high availability.

  2. Apr 2021 — Dec 2023

    Apache NiFi Expert

    Carrefour — Massy

    • Automated the deployment of the NiFi platform across environments with Ansible roles and playbooks, ensuring consistent, repeatable configuration.
    • Led the migration of Tibco data flows to Apache NiFi, moving integration processes onto a more scalable, flexible platform.
    • Built Kafka connectors — including RabbitMQ integration and cross-cluster mirroring — and a Spring Boot RESTful service for topic management.
    • Held site-reliability responsibility for the NiFi platform, with monitoring dashboards in Kibana and Grafana and hands-on mentoring of junior engineers.

Approach

A consistent method, regardless of the platform.

The same four stages apply whether it's a greenfield architecture or a rescue of an existing pipeline.

  1. 01

    Discovery & Architecture

    Understand the data sources, systems and constraints, then design a target architecture aligned with reliability and scale requirements.

  2. 02

    Implementation

    Build flows, connectors and automation using production-grade practices — version control, testing, and security by default.

  3. 03

    Reliability & Monitoring

    Put observability, alerting and incident-response processes in place from day one, not as an afterthought.

  4. 04

    Handover & Documentation

    Deliver clear technical documentation and knowledge transfer so the platform stays maintainable after the engagement ends.
