Hello, I am Olivier, Data Software Engineer 👋

I am currently working on

  • Building, Orchestrating and Monitoring ELT pipelines (using Airflow, Google Cloud Platform Composer & Logging Services)
  • Managing Infrastructure and Services on GCP (incl. BigQuery, Storage, Cloud Functions, Kubernetes, IAM) with Terraform
  • Ingesting new sources from external databases (using Python, Docker, Kubernetes & PostgreSQL)
  • Ingesting new sources from REST APIs (facebook, snapchat, jira, rocketchat, gitlab, external providers, in-house)
  • Publishing open-source projects on github.com/e-breuninger (Python Libraries, Chrome Extensions, Rocketchat Bots)
  • Leading Workshops and Technical Interviews (e.g. BigQuery Introduction, Code Standardisation & Best Practices, Gitlab CI)

My biggest challenges at the moment

  • Improving existing pipelines' reliability (pushing for more tests, ISO-standardisation, data validation & monitoring)
  • Getting ride of the technical debt (moving toward 100% automation, documentation and infrastructure as code coverage)
  • Keeping up with the upcoming technologies (learning new skills, going more in-deept vertically and horizontally)
  • Enforcing the code best practices and standardisation principles (via multitude hours of workshops and conferences)
  • Strengthening the international spirit, actively connecting the teams (via department tours and promoting english usage)

What I like in the job

  • Creativity and flexibility: management is in demand for feedbacks, autonomy, proactivity and slack-times.
  • Empowerement and ownership: you can own any topics you like inside self-directed teams.
  • Technical and social: being deeply involved in the technics while getting in touch with all the different domains.
  • Respect and open-mindedness: the future is global, driven by IT, agility and lean-innovations. Not closed and conservative.

In a few words

  • As the name suggests, I am from France (Nice). I definitively moved in Germany in 2020 🌴
  • I have run several marathons, wrote few fiction and non-fiction books and regularly publish on my technical blog 📚
  • I enjoy speaking at conferences and sharing findings with my peers 🎓
