Single-digit employee at SignalFx, the leading real-time monitoring platform for modern applications and infrastructure. Designed and implemented some of the large-scale distributed systems behind SignalFx's core technology of SignalFlow real-time streaming analytics.Led the design and implementation of SignalFx's production deployment and orchestration tooling with Docker and MaestroNG (Python). Contributed to the development of SignalFx's application platform, configuration, service discovery and service-to-service communication frameworks that support every backend microservice (Java, ZooKeeper, Kafka, Thrift, Guice). Led the scaling, optimization, high-availability implementation and production readiness of SignalFlow, SignalFx's core streaming analytics platform (high performance Java). Designed and implemented the end-to-end real-time egress streaming to clients of the SignalFlow platform with WebSockets, SSE and client libraries in multiple languages, and its integration into SignalFx's web application for all chart data streaming use cases (Java, Jersey, Kafka, Javascript, Python).

Developing and scaling the distributed systems at the core of Turn's growing infrastructure.My main focus was on Turn's in-house distributed and globally replicated key/value store database, bringing performance improvements, new features and improved scalability and availability to a critical-path component service well beyond 1M requests/second.Deployed Oozie as a workflow application scheduler to manage the recurring data processing jobs and data pipelines of the Turn platform onto our Hadoop clusters. Designed and implemented workflow application packaging, deployment tools and monitoring mechanisms for these applications.I also provided input into platform architecture discussions, new components' designs and into infrastructure planning, as well as continuing to drive coding and software engineering best practices within the development teams.

I joined Turn at the beginning of 2011 as a software engineer in Turn's Platform team, participating in the ongoing effort of scaling Turn's infrastructure to stay ahead of the steady growth of the company.One of my first projects at Turn was a major revamp of our release distribution and services control system as the previous system didn't scale. Implemented a peer-to-peer based software distribution mechanism (see http://turn.github.com/ttorrent/ for the underlying BitTorrent library that was implemented and open-sourced) which allows for the distribution and installation of a 250MB build archive to thousands of machines across the globe in less than 30 seconds.In the fall of 2011, I lead the migration of our source control from CVS to Git, including a complete rework of our build system. Introduced a continuous build system, static analysis tools, tighter testing integration with unit test and code coverage reports. Also driving an ongoing effort to introduce better code reviews and good programming practices.

I started working at MontaVista Software as an embedded software engineering intern in September 2008, and was hired full-time in March 2009, working from home in France.In fall 2008, I ported Android to the OmapZoom platform (TI OMAP3430) using MontaVista's Mobilinux 5.0.24 kernel.From March 2009 to August 2010, I was part of the dedicated engineering team for ARM OMAP3 platforms, developing and releasing our Market Specific Distributions (MSD) for boards built around Texas Instruments OMAP3 processors like the BeagleBoard, the Zoom-II MDK, the AM3517EVM. I also worked on the DaVinci DM6467T and ARM Versatile 926 platforms.My work consisted in Linux kernel and device driver development, bug fixing, integration and embedded Linux systems design and creation. It involves knowledge of the bootloaders; kernel internals; remote debugging via JTAG; filesystems; host/target relationship; C, Python and Shell programming; and of course usage of development tools, cross-compilation toolchains and SCMs. MontaVista Linux 6 is a Bitbake-based Linux distribution (like OpenEmbedded), so I'm also familiar with Bitbake and the usage and creation of Bitbake recipes, tasks, images and collections.In September 2010, I relocated to California, USA, to work on-site from the company headquarters in Santa Clara, CA. I was the engineering hand in various high-visibility projects inside MontaVista and the release manager for open-source Software Development Kit for MontaVista's embedded Linux developer community Meld.

Belfort, Cedex, Fr

Several lectures and practical sessions on embedded systems, the Linux kernel and Linux device drivers development for computer science Masters' students.

Auto-entrepreneur/self-employed/freelance work.From February 2006 to August 2006, I did several web development missions for NetAktiv (now part of the Linagora group) : * development and integration on the Joomla! CMS (PHP) * development of a custom, detailed web statistics system for a science publication editor (PHP5, Propel, patTemplates, PostgreSQL, Shell)From December 2007 to May 2008, I developed several web services and webservice gateways for Orange Labs (France Telecom group) in Ruby on Rails (RXML, WADL/XSD).From October 2009 to February 2010, I developed a custom, web-based protein sequence analysis tool for Molecular Partners, a Zürich-based biotechnology startup. The application was developed using the Django web framework, with a focus on analysis speed and algorithm optimization.
