Summary
Valentin Marcon is an R&D software engineer based in Lyon with 11 years of experience and seven years focused on software and bioinformatics development, currently consulting at Alstom on Python-based availability calculation tools. He combines strong Python backend skills (Django, Flask, Celery) with data analysis (pandas), containerization and CI/CD practices to deliver reproducible, production-ready scientific tooling. His background in bioinformatics research at INRAe and Institut Pasteur includes packaging and deploying bioinformatics workflows on Galaxy and cloud platforms, plus building web interfaces that integrate with external apps. Valentin also brings hands-on prototyping experience—3D modeling and fabrication for MRI-compatible experimental devices—which reflects a pragmatic approach to solving interdisciplinary research problems. Collaborative and curious, he thrives at the intersection of research and engineering, turning scientific requirements into automated, testable software solutions.
