Hi everyone 👋 ,

I’m Loïc DIVAD, a French software engineer working at Spotify, in Sweden. I’ve started in a consulting company called Xebia France as Scala developer, mainly on data engineering projects in Paris. That’s where I got involved with event streaming and could realise several [community contributions](https://www.confluent.io/kafka-summit-san-francisco-2019/streaming-apps-and-poison-pills-handle-the-unexpected-with-kafka-streams/). Training, blogging, and speaking at conferences were part of my job as well. To me, knowledge sharing is an essential part of the developer role, and that’s why I use my spare time building some [weird demos](https://medium.com/xebia-france/kafka-streams-co-partitioning-requirements-illustrated-2033f686b19c) 😆. I co-founded DataXDay, which is a data conference in Paris, and I was previously an organiser. Recently, I’ve joined a group of very cool people called the: [Confluent Community Catalysts](https://www.confluent.io/nominate/) and I was a member of the 2020s [Kafka Summit Program Committee](https://kafka-summit.org/program-committee/).
