Over Florent
I work at the intersection of industry, design, and data — a combination that lets me build analytics solutions grounded in how things are actually made, sold, and decided on.
What I bring is lateral thinking and system-level reasoning: connecting physical processes, business constraints, and data architectures into coherent models. This is where I fit best in OT/IT convergence and Digital Thread initiatives.
I help industrial organizations standardize and integrate data flows from design to production, using metamodel-driven schemas and practical IT/OT artifacts for integration, documentation, validation, and reuse across the path from edge systems to time series databases, lakehouse models, semantic layers, graphs and dashboards.
What I work on
- OT/IT data pipelines (streaming, batch) and industrial analytics
- Fabric / Power BI semantic models and dashboards
- Grafana monitoring for industrial processes
- Manufacturing traceability and data quality
- LinkML-based standardization of industrial data models
Focused on
- Digital Thread: from design to production, end-to-end traceability
- OT/IT Convergence: Modbus, OPC UA, SCADA, MQTT, Kafka, ISA-95, UNS, AAS, LinkML
- XaC (everything-as-code): infra, config, semantic, data, policy, cad, ... with GitOps and selective LLM automation
