Marseille, Provence-Alpes-Côte D'Azur, France

I fell into the rabbit hole at the end of 2020 and felt the need to understand what was happening on the blockchain side. Guess what? I'm still learning. But for the first time, it's not just a job - it's something I'm passionate about.My skills are centered around human interactions and organizations in software companies: dealing with customers, partners, and managing projects, products, teams, or small companies (up to approximately 100 people). No matter the problem you face, I'll try to unblock the situation.

In charge of driving the technical activity, I was supported by a skilled team of experienced software engineers and backed by an attentive executive team. My role was to help everyone focus on their area of expertise: enabling executives to secure business and the technical team to deliver on time.I attempted to cover the needs in terms of team, project, product, support, QA management, and external communication.We began by integrating several software components onto hardware we inherited from a previous attempt by another company.It was challenging but rewarding! :)We concluded by building a reference design that included a Software Development Kit and a hardware reference design to assist the CAM business in transitioning to CI+ 2.0 and adapting to the introduction of the USB interface.

As a member of the LSI Consumer Electronics Group, I began my career as a developer working on DTV products, primarily in C. Initially, I developed middleware components for ATSC products. Subsequently, I was responsible for integrating Cabot Communications’ DVB stack (Aurora) on LSI's DoMiNo™ platforms.Following this integration, I transitioned to a role as a Field Application Engineer (FAE) to support our customer, Philips, in finalizing its product—the DVDR 5500, a DVD recorder/player with a DVB-T tuner. I worked daily in a multicultural environment, serving as an interface between LSI teams (in Bangalore and Milpitas), our partner Cabot (in Bristol), and our customer. I was also in charge of conducting field tests across Europe, including in England, Germany, Spain, and France.
