En résumé

Transport Planner with 1 year experience in aviation field, and 5 years’ experience in Aviation, Urban Transport and Rail

I studied engineering in Polytechnique, one of France top university. That provided me a broad knowledge in many scientific fields including Math, Computer Science, Mechanical Eng. and Economy. Then I earned a Master degree from the University of California, Berkeley to specialize in Transportation Engineering and Planning.

I first worked in the aviation field. This experience gave me a first-hand experience of the traffic simulation field. I also gained in-depth knowledge of demand forecast and infrastructure dimensioning and financing.

Currently, I work as Transport Planner at SYSTRA where I take part in different projects as main project engineer, or technical coordinator or project manager.

My key fields of expertise are:
▪ Economic and financial appraisal
▪ Traffic modelling and simulations, with specific experience in demand forecast

Through my different project experiences, I had the opportunity to manage cross-functional teams and multi-disciplinary projects. I gained an understanding of various disciplines within rail transportation sector including: engineering, operations and planning.

I am organized, have good relationship-building skills and appreciate to coordinate and control work between different team from engineering or project management.

I worked in different countries including France, Qatar, the United States and countries in Central Asia. I am used to multicultural environments.
