François Fitzpatrick developed and maintained the backend for the dataforgoodfr/13_reveler_inegalites_cinema repository, delivering robust data pipelines and scalable APIs to support cinema inequality research. Over six months, he implemented features such as Dockerized testing, FastAPI-based web services, and SQLAlchemy-powered data models, focusing on data quality, enrichment, and deployment reliability. His work included integrating external data sources, refining database schemas, and automating data seeding and enrichment workflows using Python and SQL. By emphasizing reproducible testing, CI/CD stability, and detailed documentation, François ensured the platform could ingest, process, and expose complex film datasets efficiently for analytics and machine learning.
July 2025: Maintained dataforgoodfr/13_reveler_inegalites_cinema with a targeted bug fix to improve data quality in the film credits pipeline. The change ensures accurate role naming in film credits, supporting reliable analytics and downstream reporting.

May 2025: Delivered core data and pipeline improvements for dataforgoodfr/13_reveler_inegalites_cinema, focusing on value delivery, data reliability, and deployment velocity. Key features include robust name utilities, date parsing, and an Allocine data import seed script; a refactor of film detail retrieval to optimize queries; and stabilization of CI/CD and production configurations. These changes reduce data pipeline fragility, speed up data ingestion and dashboard access, and enable safer, repeated releases.

April 2025 performance summary for dataforgoodfr/13_reveler_inegalites_cinema focused on data quality, enrichment, API enhancements, and deployment readiness. Key data-model improvements corrected film relations and refined attributes, enabling accurate graph queries and more reliable analytics. A new repositories layer was introduced to standardize and robustly create data, reducing duplication and drift. CNC seed workflows were strengthened with file-path handling, duplication prevention, and Excel sanitization, plus the addition of a fresh CNC 2024 dataset to expand test data coverage. External data enrichment progressed with an Allocine scraping flow to obtain IDs, film details, and casting, complemented by new Allocine CSV data and role-level allocine_name fields. API and discovery features expanded with a film fiche route, enhanced film search (including directors), and duration exposure in film details, alongside query performance improvements (index on original_name) and metabase-friendly table prefixing. Finally, improved observability and deployment readiness were established via a dedicated get_film_details metrics service, trailer/poster metrics, sample/demo data for testing/ML, and Docker/CI updates (Dockerfile fix, Docker Compose volumes, dependency updates).

February 2025: Focused on expanding test coverage for the Bechdelai library by introducing Jupyter notebooks to validate scraping modules across multiple sources (IMSDB, IMDB, BechdelTest, Allocine, OpenSubtitles, TMDB, Wikipedia, Scenarioteque) within dataforgoodfr/13_reveler_inegalites_cinema. IMSDB integration is functional; other sources require configuration/API keys. No major bugs fixed this month; primarily establishing prerequisites and a testing workflow to enable faster validation and regression checks. Business impact: improves data quality assurance for multi-source scraping, enabling safer, faster data collection for research on cinema inequality. Technologies: Python, Jupyter notebooks, Git, data scraping, API key management, and notebook-based testing.
