€500K+ in e-commerce revenue

Generated over 4 years through 2 custom B2C stores, designed and delivered end to end.

Vector search engine, v1.0

FAISS/pgvector visual discovery tool for a company's embroidery library, cutting the time between client request and custom-design proposal.

Full production-cycle software for a fish farm

Feeding, hatchery, rearing ponds, environmental monitoring, and caviar processing — rebuilt from the ground up.

50% shorter delivery lead time

Redesigned the engineering workflow — branching strategy, CI, code review, onboarding.

Took over the group's IT leadership across caviar distribution and textile development, growing the team from 3 to 7 and building the integration backbone tying Odoo, Saleor and third-party APIs together.

• —Odoo integration for distribution: order and stock management between Acipenser and its distributors (Paris, Luxembourg, New York); structured the product catalogue and achieved French e-invoicing compliance (Peppol).
• —Event-driven integration middleware consuming webhooks across Odoo, Saleor and third-party carrier APIs — the single source of truth for group-wide data.
• —Designed and delivered 2 B2C e-commerce stores, generating €500K+ in revenue over 4 years, with KPI reporting to steer the business.
• —Delivered a vector search engine (FAISS/pgvector) for the brand's embroidery library, at the direct request of group leadership.
• —Self-hosted Debian / Docker Swarm infrastructure; led the Microsoft 365 overhaul (multi-domain governance, licensing, tenant migration).

On-site technical lead rebuilding the fish farm's management software end to end, driving the technical roadmap directly.

• —Rebuilt the farm management software: feed production and distribution to sturgeons, hatchery efficiency from fertilised egg intake to hatching, population tracking across rearing ponds, environmental monitoring, and processing tracking (slaughter, curing, caviar tinning).

Eight years spanning R&D engineering and technical leadership — from telecom data pipelines and digital TV middleware to leading a 3-engineer team through a modular architecture shift.

• —Lead Developer (2017–2018): technical lead for a 3-engineer team (DevOps, backend, full-stack); moved architecture toward a modular, near-microservices approach without fully committing to it given the system's scale.
• —Cut average delivery lead time by 50% by redesigning the engineering workflow — branching strategy, CI pipelines, code review standards, structured onboarding.
• —Regularly presented architecture decisions and trade-offs to a non-technical executive team.
• —R&D Engineer (2010–2016): GPS fleet tracking with a geospatial PostgreSQL schema and GPX ingestion pipelines, used by Operations to track vehicles and scheduling.
• —Digital TV: API-first middleware as the source of truth for subscriber management and EPG data across a 3-city network; built a multi-channel broadcast tool and high-throughput event-driven backends (RabbitMQ).
