01 — About
Bridging business & tech.
With a Master's degree in Business Information Systems (MIAGE) specialized in Artificial Intelligence (Université Côte d'Azur, work-study program), I have been managing and coordinating IT projects since 2020: coordinating more than 12 project teams at Thales, steering security activities for URSSAF, building automated macros at Thales Alenia Space, and now improving data reliability for PRO BTP as a Business Analyst at eXalt.
My dual technical (networks & telecoms degree, web development) and management background lets me bridge business owners, delivery teams and engineers, with a strong focus on risk, security and compliance (public & defense sectors). My experiences in Quebec and Montreal also taught me to adapt quickly.

What people say
Curious, motivated, dynamic, resilient, easy to get along with and efficient in his work: that is what characterized Julian during the few months he spent at Thales Alenia Space. He perfectly accomplished the assignments he was given, which led to improvements in some of our processes. Translated from French
Marc ReynaudIndustrial Manager, CO2M satellite program (ESA)Senior manager · Thales Alenia Space
I had the pleasure of working with Julian for a few months. As a PMO, he steered processes efficiently and provided constant support to project managers by structuring and optimizing project tracking. Thanks to his organization and rigor, he helped the team stay aligned with its objectives and achieve its results. I recommend Julian for his professionalism and the quality of his project management work. Translated from French
Vanessa RiabiProject Management OfficerColleague, same team · URSSAF
Julian contributed greatly to the growth of our company. He is highly committed and a driving force for new ideas. For instance, he helped us gain visibility by effectively optimizing our website where industry professionals had failed. During his time at Prodecys, Julian also successfully delivered a wide range of projects. I am very satisfied with Julian's work and gladly recommend him. Translated from French
César MedeganCo-founder, CTO and trainerDirect manager · Prodecys
I had the pleasure of working with Julian when he did his internship at Eva, he is professional, a good team player and a quick learner. Julian would be an asset to any team.
Merouane BenthameurAI agent systems architectDirect manager · Eva
During his time with us, Julian proved to be motivated, resourceful and autonomous, keeping his job and his studies well apart. Always positive and smiling, he knew how to handle every situation that came his way, bringing both good spirits and professionalism. Julian was a pillar of the team, even though he was only there on weekends (and occasionally one weekday). I would have loved to keep Julian on my team, but unfortunately student life goes on.
