PROFILE
Frédéric Menou
Over 17 months, contributed to etalab/transport-site by designing and delivering robust data validation, processing, and visualization features for public transport datasets. Developed and enhanced tools for GTFS and NeTEx data, including diffing utilities, validation workflows, and reporting interfaces, while improving reliability and maintainability through backend refactoring and frontend UI/UX updates. Leveraged Elixir, Phoenix Framework, and SCSS to implement scalable APIs, automated jobs, and responsive interfaces. Addressed data integrity, localization, and performance challenges by refining database queries, error handling, and test coverage. The work enabled more accurate data ingestion, streamlined validation, and improved user experience for operators and stakeholders.
