WORKING EXPERIENCE

03/2024 – 06/2024 TECHNICAL AUTHOR PACKT PUBLISHER REMOTE

Packt Publisher is a major editor and e-learning provider in the tech industry worldwide. I have
been the only author of the book “FastAPI Cookbook”. The cookbook aims to be a reference
for developers that needs to build high traffic applications with Python.
It cover all the knowledge required by a back-end developer to deliver modern, secured and
efficient API.
Some of the recipes cover:
o Connect applications to SQL (SQLite Postgres) and NoSQL (MongoDB) data-
bases
o Securing endpoints with OAuth2
o Benchmark and profile your application
o Expose LLM models and RAG LLM applications
o Websocket setup and securing practises

Gorilla is developing a data-driven platform for energy retailers.
The company, already present in 3 countries (2 continents), aims to empower clients with solu-
tions for pricing, forecasting, and reporting.
I joined the team to contribute to the back-end API of their SaaS platform.
In this role, I executed the following tasks:
o define features for the back-end API (Python) with in-house framework (using Py-
dantic) deployed on AWS.
o Test-driven development (pytest), with PostgreSQL database interactions.
o Manage database migrations with alembic library.
o Test local database with Docker.
o Refactor code according to Object Oriented Programming (OOP) and functional
programming (FP).
o Implement new features from analysis to code.

09/2020 - 09/2022 PYTHON SWE ROYAL BELGIAN FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION

BELGIUM
Royal Belgian Football Association is the governing body of football in Belgium.
As a Software Engineer within the organization, I worked on several cloud-based projects.
One of the projects I contributed to the development of the backend of the official app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=be.rbfa&hl=en.
Another project, that I’ve been working on, consists in providing support to the men's national
players (Red Devils) performance team.
Overall, I carried on the following tasks:
o uphold and enhance RESTful monolithic and microservices architecture, utilizing
FastAPI and Flask Framework and integrating it with NoSQL Firestore data-
base, secured by a Golang-based gateway service.
o Implement comprehensive testing, including unit tests, integration tests with Py-
test and Behave, and performance analysis to guarantee software quality and
performance.
o Local testing setup with Docker, Functions Framework, Firestore local
emulator.
o Design, develop and deploy data pipeline solutions in Google Cloud Platform,
leveraging services such as Queues, Cron Jobs, Virtual Machines and containeri-
zed services with Cloud Run (containeraized-solution), to drive business value
and scalability.
o Object Oriented Programming (OOP) and functional programming (FP).
o Streamline codebase through refactoring, leveraging the latest features of Python
version 3.6 to 3.10, and implementing concurrent programming with asyncio
library and design patterns to increase requests traffic control, and enhance ope-
rational security through resource scaling, network access and firewall setup.
o Troubleshoot and optimize MySQL (BigQuery-dialect) code integration within py-
thon packages, ensuring SQL formatting consistency
o Maintain and monitor cloud infrastructure with Terraform IaaC tool, including
CICD pipelines, network access and services, ensuring robust and optimized sys-
tem performance
o Versioning control system development in Git (Github and Bitbucket)
o Guide and mentor internships to drive skills transfer and growth.
During my period working at RBFA, I contributed to win the 2021 UEFA GROW AWARDS for the
digital strategy, awarded by Louis Figo.

YVETTE, FRANCE
The EM2C laboratory, a CNRS (National Center for Scientific Research) unit and a laboratory of
CentraleSupélec, combines academic research with applied studies in the fields of transporta-
tion and energy.
I have been hired to work on the 'Clean-gas' project of the European Commission.
The scientific goal of CLEAN-Gas is to develop new experimental and numerical tools for impro-
ving natural gas combustion in innovative burners (http://www.clean-gas.polimi.it).
During my work, I carried out the following tasks:
o Model and implement combustion phenomena in HPC parallel code using For-
tran90 and OpenMPI
o Manage Linux systems and craft shell scripts to optimize PBS computing time
slots computations
o Develop powerful data pipelines in Python to handle remote h5 databases, utili-
zing Python libraries such as Pandas, NumPy, Matplotlib, SciPy and Flask.
Rendered into web pages (HTML, Javascript, CSS)
o Versioning control system development in Git (Gitlab)
o Process 3D results with VTK library in Paraview to deliver insightful visualization
The work culminated in a published manuscript, which can be found at the following link:
