Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBen Fradet is a Lead Software Engineer with 12 years of experience building high-throughput, production-grade systems across media, e‑commerce and data platforms from France. He blends backend engineering, DevOps and data engineering—having productionized PyTorch models at SiriusXM, designed cross-account DynamoDB migrations with zero downtime, and optimized Kinesis/Lambda infrastructure for major cost savings. His open-source contributions span notable projects like Apache Spark, Snowplow and Spotify’s Scio, where he improved testing, refactored core pipeline components and added practical utilities for streaming and batch pipelines. At Depop he led security and migration efforts (OAuth, JWT, Kafka adoption) and dismantled a Django monolith using the strangler pattern, reducing database footprint and operational complexity. Comfortable mentoring teams and stepping between research and production, he also applies probabilistic techniques—e.g., Markov-chain based detection of bad audio sequences—to solve domain-specific problems. Based in Villefranche-de-Rouergue, he combines a strong engineering foundation (UTC) with a pragmatic, cross-disciplinary approach to delivering resilient systems.
