Architecting large-scale data systems under real execution constraints.


About

I work on data-intensive systems.

My focus is on execution models, performance limits, and how systems behave in production at scale.

History

My work is centered on the design and operation of distributed systems. I currently lead distributed data processing at Airbus. In parallel, I contribute to open-source large-scale data systems, including Apache Spark.


2024–Present
Airbus

Senior software engineer (staff-level ownership).

I own execution architectures for large-scale data processing systems in the aircraft configuration management domain.

I provide architectural direction for large-scale data processing platforms supporting multiple aircraft programs (A320, A330, A350, A380, A400M).
