Summary
Eric Cournarie is a Senior Software Engineer with three decades in the software industry and deep expertise in Java, web applications, big data and cloud systems, currently contributing at Dataiku from Greater Paris. He has a long track record building high-performance analytics engines and enterprise BI/EPM platforms, having led technical teams and architected large Java codebases (200K+ lines) and low-latency data systems at Indexima and others. Comfortable across the stack, he pairs hands-on coding with design, release management and agile delivery—skills honed in small-company settings where he wore many hats. His background includes C++ for graphics tools and early work on text-mining ecosystems, reflecting a rare breadth from UI and real-time indexing to backend scalability. A PhD in Computer & Human Interaction underscores his grounding in usable systems design, while his ongoing civic engagement with Team for the Planet signals a commitment to impact beyond pure engineering. Eric remains an avid learner who still enjoys discovering new technologies despite a career largely spent in Java.
