Mickaël Lacour is a senior software engineer based in Greater Paris with 13 years of experience designing and operating large-scale data platforms. He spent a decade at Criteo building petabyte-scale data warehouses, schedulers and mission-critical pipelines (including billing) and became a Parquet committer while improving Hive integration and complex type support. At Criteo he also led efforts to speed experimentation and developer onboarding by creating production-like containerized workstations and a Mesos-based provisioning system. Now at Onfido he continues to apply that backend and data-systems expertise to reliable production services. Comfortable in low-level performance work as well as user-facing tooling, he blends deep systems optimization with a focus on developer productivity. An early adopter of “Big Data” practices, he pairs a pragmatic, scripting-first approach with open-source collaboration experience.
