Pierre Hilbert is a Senior Software Engineering Manager based in Lille with eight years of experience leading engineering teams and scaling developer productivity at Elastic and Decathlon Technology. He combines deep database expertise—having migrated Oracle to PostgreSQL and built Puppet bricks, backup and replication tooling—with hands-on DevOps and release work evidenced by contributions to Elastic's Beats. Certified in Oracle SQL/PLSQL and trained on PostgreSQL, AWS and SAP HANA, he blends platform architecture, operational excellence, and product-minded database management. Pierre has full-stack development experience (TypeScript game mechanics and save/restore features) and a track record of automating deployments and build pipelines. Colleagues value his ability to translate complex database constraints into pragmatic platform choices and his habit of surfacing small but impactful fixes across open-source repos. He is comfortable across the stack—from OS/hardware sizing for SAP to CI/CD and observability for distributed systems.
