I have been passionate about IT ever since I was a teenager. So my career choice
was obvious: I started developping software in the French Aerospace industry and
went on to managing international teams of 25 people, from Paris to Zürich, and
London.
In all these experiences, I remained very close to the development teams which
allowed me to discover many new technologies.
Finally, passion caught up and I decided to go back to my first love, software
development.
I am driven by intellectual curiosity and thirst for learning, first and foremost. This prompted me to recently get the “Executive Certificate Architecte Cloud et DevOps” certification, to expand my understanding of Cloud computing.
I have also always been a Space enthusiast. So ideally my next job would combine those two passions…
I am building the Customer Portal for SIX Financial Information applications.
I write the back-end and front-end code, I define the database schema, I write automated integration and load tests, I manage the Gitlab build and deployment pipeline.
This portal will be used by 1500 users daily. It is built with VueJS for the front-end, and Quarkus for the back-end. Development is done using Gitlab, Artifactory, and the system runs on the private OpenShift platform of SIX.
For the
SIX Flex
product, I participated in the front-end developpment using
ReactJS.
In that project, I built a multi-dimensional data display system similar to
Excel pivot tables. For the back-end, we built a high-performance Java system
providing a GraphQL API, and using the
RocksDB NoSQL database.
I also inspired the decision to build an event-driven architecture based on
Apache Kafka that allowed ingesting new data sets
into the SIX products.
Regarding methods, I helped organize the development organization into three
Agile Release Trains. I
have been a Product Owner and
then Product Manager for
various teams.
I took part in the development of the Interactive Map component of
Thomson Reuters Eikon.
This map is displaying physical assets that are relevant to production and
transportation of energy and commodities, like oil refineries, power plants,
pipelines, and tankers.
It showed their real-time location and status, for example maintenance for
refinery elements.
Together with analysis screens, it allowed traders and analysts in these markets
to have a global view.
I used geo-spatial databases, KML as
well as Matlab.
I took a great part in the development of
Thomson Reuters Eikon.
The front-end evolved from a fat-client
Microsoft COM
application to a modern Web one.
I also contributed to the Search functionality that was using
ElasticSearch.
This effort led, over 8 years, to the development of a brand new platform that
encompassed front-end and back-end elements, covering all aspects of the
workflows, from user management to data management and data analysis.
This allowed me to discover the challenges of building a large-scale web
application.
I was managing a team of around 20 developpers building the Kobra, then Reuters 3000 Xtra product.
That product was a trading product displaying real-time prices and news in various forms including charts.
It was built in C++ and was multi-platform.
It reached about 200 000 users wordwide.
I built military and civilian Air Traffic Control System software like EUROCAT2000 for the Athens airport, or LORADSII for Singapore.
I wrote some elements of the navigation software for the Mission Calculator of the Rafale fighter jet.
This embedded system was written in Ada.
Certification on Cloud Computing, DevOps and software architecture.
Learn how to properly code in Python, quickly write effective programs that are easy to understand and maintain, whilst exploiting all of Python power.
Explains gravity according to Einstein’s theory and more recent discoveries.
French Telecom engineering school, based in Brest, Brittany. Major in Computer Science.
Mindmapping is a tool I use whenever I need to analyze an important and complex topic.
A mind map buiding tool always appeared to me as a very interesting exercise for learning UI development, because it requires many tree-walking algorithms, as well as a careful design to have a chance of being as useful as a paper version.
So I first built one using Microsoft WPF.
I then moved on and built one with HTML, jquery and the fabricjs library.
The latest version is now using:
- React
- Redux for state management
- Redux Toolkit for backend queries management
- Netlify as a cloud-hosting
- clerk for user management
- CockroachDB as the database
- ably for realtime communications.
It offers:
- rich-text editing
- keyboard management allowing you to let your ideas flow to the page
- auto-save
- undo/redo
- realtime collaboration on shared documents
- chat with other users
- mobile version
And there are many many more like Peter F. Hamilton, David Weir, Brandon Q. Morris, …
