I worked as Technical Leader on the design and development of a scheduling platform for EUTELSAT, built from scratch to manage and plan operational procedures for a fleet of more than ten satellites. The objective of the project was to migrate an existing tool into a centralized, scalable web platform capable of supporting operational workflows, long-term planning, and day-to-day satellite operations while ensuring robustness, reliability, and usability for operational teams.
From the earliest stages, I was responsible for the overall system architecture, defining both backend and frontend foundations. This included designing a backend capable of handling complex scheduling logic, operational constraints, and calendar-specific rules, as well as shaping a modular and maintainable application architecture. In parallel, I led the UI design, working closely with stakeholders to translate operational requirements into an intuitive and efficient user experience, balancing usability with continuity from the legacy system.
As Technical Lead, I owned key architectural and technological decisions across the entire stack, from technology selection and architectural patterns to performance optimization and deployment strategies. I was directly involved in backend design and implementation, complex problem solving, and systematic bug resolution, maintaining high engineering standards throughout the lifecycle. Given the operational criticality of the platform, quality, security, and reliability were treated as the primary concerns.
Beyond technical implementation, I coordinated development activities and ensured continuous alignment between engineering efforts and business objectives. I actively participated in regular client meetings to refine requirements, validate technical solutions, and address operational concerns. This close collaboration ensured that the platform evolved in direct response to real operational needs while maintaining clear expectations and controlled scope.
Finally, I led the installation and deployment in operational environments, ensuring smooth rollouts and production readiness. The result was a fully operational, production-grade scheduling platform that became a core system for managing satellite operations at scale, combining architectural rigor with practical operational efficiency.
