Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolXavier Guihot is a Senior Data Engineer based in Paris with nine years of experience designing and scaling data-driven systems for analytics and real-time applications. He specializes in Scala, Spark, Akka and MongoDB, having driven major migrations from Python/SQL to Scala/Spark that cut processing times from days to hours and improved throughput tenfold. His work spans subscription-detection algorithms (lifting accuracy from 40% to 95%), low-latency sports data streaming, social media intelligence, and large-scale Spark pipelines on multi-terabyte clusters. Comfortable across ETL, distributed systems and data visualizations (d3.js), he blends algorithmic rigor with production engineering to make complex pipelines reliable enough to run unattended. Unusually for an engineer with an aerospace background, he repeatedly bridges research-grade modeling and pragmatic product delivery to surface actionable insights for businesses and agencies.
