Summary
Alexandre Close is a Software Architect specializing in Big Data and AI with a decade of experience building secure, production-grade data platforms for public institutions. Based in Toulouse, he designed and led clustered data architectures that span Kafka ingestion, ELK storage, Spark-based ML and deep learning, and real-time IoT pipelines (LoRaWAN/TTN/Sigfox), while also handling full-stack development and UX-oriented HMI work. He combines rigorous engineering discipline from a generalist systems background with hands-on ops skills—containerized CI/CD, Ansible orchestration and Red Hat cluster administration—to reliably ship complex distributed systems. A track record at the Paris and Toulouse city administrations highlights expertise in sensitive-data security, unified identity systems and scalable citizen-facing services. Notably, he brings both architect-level vision and lead-developer execution, bridging machine learning models to actionable metropolitan services.
