As technical lead or senior engineer, my focuses are generic software engineering (web, desktop, mobile, embedded, server) and AWS cloud infrastructure expertise with network knowledge. I am aware of the importance of security, monitoring, alerting, and infrastructure as code in production context.

I link the business and the technical worlds. My job is to understand requirements, learn the needed technologies, architect the target system and build it alone, within or leading a technical team. I focus on maintainability, testability, scalability.

🇫🇷 Languages

About Japanese

Being interested in the Japanese culture and wanting to be more familiar with Chinese and Japanese characters, I self-learnt reading Japanese. I discovered my learning could allow me to passe the first level of the JLPT - Japanese Language Proficiency Test - so I pushed the study even further and challenge myself to pass it as free candidate, with success for the 3 basic levels:

  • 2013: Level 5
  • 2014: Level 4
  • 2016: Level 3

However, I am unable to speak and write Japanese. I have basic understanding, but not enough to follow a discussion.

🤖 AI/LLM usage

Regular usage of LLM models with Antigravity and Kiro.

I leverage AI tools responsibly, reviewing, simplifying, and refactoring code to ensure maintainability. AI/LLMs provide a higher-level programming abstraction, akin to using high-level languages instead of assembly.

🔨 Some side projects

Android Beacon Simulator: Simulate Bluetooth LE beacons. More than 30 000 downloads.

Advent of Code contest: train my algorithm skills.
