Particularly interested in innovative design techniques and software team organization, I am looking forward to grow strong technical software teams along successful, challenging projects.After a year in a startup in West Canada (Vancouver), I got in 2000 to Paris for a 1.5 year long experience on server-side (C++, CORBA). After 6 months maintaining an old and fragile system, I spent a year redesigning a complete module with three freelance consultants. We developed successfully with extremely few defects, using a powerful methodology named eXtreme Programming. I then moved from 2002 to end 2006 on client-side ; the programming language was Java/Swing/J2EE and XML, and it was built on top of a wide range of tools and libraries such as JBoss, Apache, Install4J, Velocity, HTTPUnit, YGuard, UISpec4J.... This project particularly benefited from the XP flexibility, since the application organically grew into the reference tool for network provisioning in Nortel.I then went freelance on january 2007, and coached a team of 8 at BNP Paribas for an app managing the legal deals and contracts of the bank. The project relied on a few frameworks such as Hibernate, Lucene, Webwork or FIT. My time there was exciting and challenging with half the team in India, and international users.From february 2010 to september 2011, I helped Multimedia Business Services to grow the Orange public VOD platform (Java 7, Hibernate, ). We learned a lot with the team I led (10 devs, 4 ops), and pushed/refactored a heavy legacy system to insert many new services.Since october 2011, I now live in Toulouse, working first for LivingObjects and then LiveAction. building from scratch a Network PErformance Management product now sold to many Service Providers around the world.Specialties: Technical Software Coach and Lead Agile methodologies (XP) and Lean
