He leads small technical teams to deliver data-heavy information systems—overseeing planning, risk management, quality control and stakeholder reporting—while applying PM2 and ITIL practices. Julien’s background spans web and .NET development through to data analysis, giving him a rare mix of technical fluency and economic insight from a Master’s in Economics. He has contributed to the open-source Odoo project both as a backend developer (calendar scheduling optimizations) and as a technical writer improving documentation for deployment and APIs. Comfortable managing Azure-hosted microeconomic databases and coordinating external contractors, he focuses on turning complex statistical and business data needs into well-controlled, production-ready solutions. Colleagues value his knack for simplifying deployment/configuration nuances and for translating user needs into precise technical deliverables.
