Five years at the EPITECH (14) school in Paris.
Among other things, developed a Unix Bash type Shell, a Ray Tracer, and a Networked AI Controlled role playing game.

Software Engineer - 4 months (under NDA)
Milestonelab (France) from November 2010 to March 2011
High load, distributed, evented frontend RESTful Web API using Ruby, Nginx, Thin and EventMachine.
Software Engineer - 24 months labs.exalead.com
Distributed media aggregator at Exalead (France) from December 2008 to November 2010
Design of the backend solution powering VoxaleadNews (1). The system watches sources (RSS/Atom feeds, podcasts, YouTube channels, Web scraping…) for news videos, then does descriptors extraction (transcription, face recognition, OCR, semantic processors…). Once these are extracted, they are indexed and made searchable in a Exalead Cloudview (2) index. The system makes use of an AMQP queue (RabbitMQ (3)) and a key-value store / NoSQL database (MongoDB (4)) to distribute tasks and store results across several computers (that can be added/removed on the fly). Also, the system monitors the well-being of all nodes and services. Is it fully controlled via a JSON-RPC API and configurable with YAML (5). As part of the project, did contributions to Scrapy (6) and Celery (7).
Elysee.fr search and media search at Exalead (France) from October 2009 to February 2010
Designed and implemented the backend for the search and media search of the French Presidency Website (8). The user can search through elysee.fr pages but also pictures, and video. More importantly, the videos are transcribed and indexed so the user can search not only the video meta-data, but also inside the video itself.
Search Meta-Application at Exalead (France) from October 2009 to November 2010
Worked on YAF (Yet Another Front) which is a Django (9) application that powers demos from Exalabs (10). It features all that’s needed for search applications (from templating to search query rewriting).
Software Engineer - 10 months satimo.com
RF Testing Robot at Satimo (France) from December 2007 to November 2008
Design of the software part of a system that displays the range of remote car unlocking systems. The system is made of a rotating platform (for the vehicle) and a robot of a rail that pushes the button of the remote. The robot behavior is scriptable in JavaScript (JScript.NET) to use different algorithms (dichotomy…). Analog and CAN sensor acquisition is realized with a National Instruments PXI. Actuators are activated using ModBus (11) over RS-485.
Software Engineer in Test Intern - 5 months google.com
GData .NET Library Testing at Google NYC (USA) from April 2007 to September 2007
Improve testing of the GData (12) Client Library for .NET, as well as adding features and do maintenance job. The project involved set up a continuous build environment for the library, add GZip support for all the supported platforms and patch bugs.
GoogSync (20% project) at Google NYC (USA) from May 2007 to September 2007
GoogSync is a two-way synchronization software between Windows Mobile and Google Calendar. It was developed from the ground up and makes use of the Google Client Library for .NET (mobile edition). Its goal is to achieve maximum integration in the device and thus minimum hassle to the user.
Software Engineer, R&D - 13 months lara.prd.fr
Scope Project at I.N.R.I.A. (France) from November 2005 to December 2006, part time
Development of a software framework towards vehicle-vehicle and vehicle-infrastructure communications. The project was done in a joint venture between the EPITECH school and the IMARA lab at I.N.R.I.A.
It involved low level data acquisition, high performance C++ code and high levels of abstractions. We used test driven development to ensure fully working milestones along the project.
Speaker at the Microsoft Academic Days in Paris, April 24th 2006
Speaker at the ITS World Congress in San Francisco, November 8th 2005
Presented a framework defining Collaborative Perception, which is a novel concept in autonomous driving: vehicles now share knowledge about the environment, to help others refine their view of it. The framework was entirely made in C# 2.0 and intensively used .NET Remoting, and meta-data concepts.
Software Engineer, R&D – 24 months lara.prd.fr
I.N.R.I.A. (France) from November 2003 to November 2005, part time
Been charged with the development of a decentralized distributed spatial database using .Net and very precise localization systems.
Also, the job involved usage of deterministic artificial vision, kalmann filtering, Win32 GDI, DirectX and very critical hardware (DGPS RTK, Inertial Measurement Unit…).
