How I think about data systems

Data engineer in the Ivorian public finance administration. I build the full chain, from raw administrative extracts to certified data, documented catalogues and decision dashboards, with quality, traceability and confidentiality treated as design requirements rather than afterthoughts.

Since 2020 I have worked at the Direction du Contrôle Financier (Financial Control Directorate) of the Ivorian Ministry of Economy, Finance and Budget, first administering the electronic document management system, then as a data analyst and data engineer.

My current focus is the industrialisation of public procurement data: an ETL pipeline with a rule catalogue and quarantine, a star-schema warehouse, a traceable Power BI model, integrity certificates, and DDI metadata published to an access-controlled catalogue.

I work best with organisations that treat data platforms as products: international organisations, financial institutions and data teams that value reliability, governance and measurable impact.
