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.

TEX Telematics Platform - Full AWS Serverles revamp
2018 – 2024Project: Based on the succes of using serverless technologies on Fizzy (cf. below), and in order to make the TEX project (cf. below) more robust against turnover, budget decrease, constant maintenance, security requirements, and difficulties for data scientist to deploy new models, the TEX project was fully revised with success.
Role: Technical leader and architect
- Architect and redesign of the legacy telematics TEX platform based on an EC2 architecture, to a full AWS serverless project leveraging AWS technologies.
- Lead and coordinate a team of 3 cloud and software engineers
- 4 projects in production processing live data coming from telematics boxes, connected cars or intermediate servers.

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.
RGB LED matrix Rust driver for nRF52833: manage a LED board with a BBC micro:bit chip.
