Software Craftsman with deep knowledge across multiple programming languages. Focused on building structured, high-quality data solutions on the cloud, from highly scalable ETL pipelines to data-powered applications.
Having been in different leadership positions, my energy is focused on coaching and upskilling engineering teams members while sharing a broad vision on designing complex architectural evolutions that impact the business.
Building agent-ready data infrastructure through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling AI agents to autonomously navigate complex data ecosystems and bridge the gap between raw data and actionable intelligence.
Experience working with AWS and GCP cloud services for designing multi-region architecture that meets scalability, availability, performance, and security considerations.
Explore the evolution of Back Market’s GenAI platform, Monster AI, from prototype to robust product, offering modular, flexible, and vendor-independent solutions that integrate with various AI technologies, while focusing on data security, privacy, and the human and technical challenges, sharing successes, failures, and lessons learned in meeting business expectations and user needs.
From prototype to product: how Back Market built Monster, an internal GenAI platform that is modular, vendor-agnostic, and secure, now serving 700 employees and 150 support agents.
In this episode, Florian Valeye, Staff Data Engineer at Back Market, talks about Delta Lake, a Linux Foundation project to provide reliability, performance and quality on data lakes. He also talks about Rust programming language and why it’s one of the most loved languages among developers.
This conversation from the Open Source Summit in Spain provides valuable insights into the significance of Delta Lake, the role of Rust in data engineering, and the collaborative nature of open source communities.
