About Richard

Need to build a scalable, reliable, cloud-native data platform?
I help fast-moving teams deliver clean, trusted data—faster.

As a Senior Data & DevOps Engineer, I bring a decade of hands-on experience designing ETL/ELT pipelines, automating deployments, and operating cloud data stacks across AWS, GCP, and Snowflake.

What I bring to the table:
→ Deep expertise in data orchestration(Airflow, Dagster, DBT, Airbyte)
→ Cloud infrastructure as code with Terraform, Kubernetes, GitLab CI/CD
→ Proven ability to cut pipeline runtimes by 60%+ and reduce costs by 40%
→ Strategic mindset: I align engineering with business goals

My typical missions include:
→ Building data platforms from scratch or refactoring legacy pipelines
→ Automating ingestion from tools like Salesforce, SAP, SharePoint, Ads
→ Designing secure, monitored, production-ready infrastructure
→ Supporting analytics, AI/ML, and BI teams with scalable workflows

I’ve delivered in sectors like retail, logistics, and infrastructure, working closely with product, data, and engineering teams.

I’m fluent in French, English, and German (A2), and based in Berlin
available for remote or hybrid projects across Europe.

Looking for a reliable data expert who delivers clean code, strong DevOps, and clear business value?
