Open to opportunities
Java full-stack developer, technical and functional consultant. Five years in total: a national land information system, two international data accounts, web production.
Lionel Ratovo, based in Antananarivo. I work on systems that cannot be stopped to be fixed: a national land registry in service, marketing data pipelines in production, business applications taken over without documentation.
My strength is not pure technique, and I do not sell it as such. It is understanding what the business actually needs, then the technical constraints that follow from it. I come alone when the job fits one person. When it does not, we are three: NEXTRI, a collective of engineers in Antananarivo.
Java Spring Boot, Java EE, NestJS on the server; Angular and Ext JS on the interface. Drools for the rules, Camunda for the workflows: business rules that live in the system, not in the head of whoever wrote them.
In the fieldSIF: land-management processes are orchestrated in Camunda, and every write passes through a Drools rules engine before it reaches the database.
PostgreSQL, Oracle. Model first, then make the queries hold once the volume arrives.
In the fieldGSK: segmenting and analysing the group's marketing data, with queries whose results span thousands of rows.
Stepping into a system you did not write, often without documentation, and evolving it without breaking what runs.
In the fieldCartier: Salesforce flows taken over as they stood. BICI: four applications on an internal framework.
Business workshops, estimation, task breakdown and follow-up, supporting the team lead. The interface between those who decide and those who build.
In the fieldMercedes-Benz: coordinating a local team of eight, on production split across two countries.
The SGFH had to become the SIF. Nine PostgreSQL schemas, a public portal that only reads, and other government services' databases that had to be both consulted and fed. The November 2024 go-live was the real challenge of the project.
At Cartier, taking over the campaign preparation pipelines where they already stood, in Salesforce. At GSK, segmenting and targeting through SQL queries, then training the people taking over.

Remote or on-site, as I have since 2021. Write, and I answer.
