Open to full-time Data Engineer roles & freelance missions
I’m Imad, a Data Engineer in Paris. I design batch & streaming pipelines with Airflow, Spark, Kafka and dbt — from raw sources to the dashboard — with data quality built in, not bolted on.
01About
I’m a Data Engineer with a State Engineering degree in Data Engineering from ENSA Al Hoceima. I’m now completing a specialised Master’s at Institut F2I in Paris, in a work-study role at VirtuoSys, a LegalTech SaaS company.
I care about the unglamorous part of data: pipelines that are idempotent, monitored and documented, so the people downstream — analysts, product teams, business owners — can stop wondering whether the numbers are right. I’ve done that for a bank, a SaaS company and a computer-vision team.
Alongside that, I freelance on Upwork — scrapers, automation and data pipelines — with a 100% Job Success score. Off the keyboard: running, strength training, learning the saxophone, and community work as former President of the SADIM association and Vice-President of the ENSAH Data Club.

03Selected work
Production pipelines and the projects behind them — what the problem was, what I built, and what changed.
Production · SaaS LegalTech
Airflow pipelines on AWS and a real-time Power BI × Sentry dashboard that took bug detection from hours to minutes.
Production · Banking
From hard-coded rules to ML anomaly classification — with streaming alerts and a human validation loop — for a bank’s Data Governance team.
Project · Analytics engineering
End-to-end analytics engineering: S3 → Snowflake → dbt, Medallion layers, SCD Type 2 history and tested models.
Production · Computer vision
~30 fps camera streams classified into 5 incident types, with confirmation logic so a single ambiguous frame never raises an alarm.
Every git push is tested, containerised and deployed as an Airflow DAG by Jenkins — then the run is verified in MongoDB.
Jenkins · Docker · Airflow · MongoDB · pytest
Cleans, joins and consolidates a relational database, MongoDB and JSON delivery events into one customer_order_360 view — with a quality audit and reject handling.
PySpark · Spark SQL · PostgreSQL · MongoDB
A reproducible pipeline that turns World Bank and Our World in Data series into animated bar-chart-race videos, from download to final render.
Python · pandas · Matplotlib · ffmpeg
Extracts and structures multimedia content from Instagram profiles on dynamic, JavaScript-heavy pages.
Python · Selenium · BeautifulSoup
Scripts that collect posts and discussions from Reddit into analysis-ready datasets.
Python · Jupyter · pandas
04Stack
Tools I’ve shipped to production or built complete projects with — no logo collection.
05Freelance
Alongside my data engineering role I take on a small number of freelance missions — through Upwork or a direct contract. Same standards as in production: tested, documented, monitored.
Batch or streaming pipelines from APIs, databases and files into a clean, queryable store — scheduled, retried and monitored.
Airflow · Prefect · Kafka · Spark
A warehouse your analysts can trust: Medallion layers, tested dbt models, history of changes and documentation.
dbt · Snowflake · PostgreSQL · AWS
Robust scrapers and bots that run unattended and deliver clean, deduplicated datasets — or remove a manual task for good.
Python · Selenium · Playwright
Power BI dashboards on top of monitored data, with checks and alerts that catch bad data before it reaches a decision.
Power BI · Sentry · dbt tests
06Writing
Lessons from real pipelines — what worked, what broke, and why.
