I live in Paris, and I love writing code

The past

I’ve been programming in some form since I was 10 years old. I remember, at this time it was on an old Apple II with BASIC floppy. I continued and eventually made it my job, by creating a webdesign agency in Toulon, France. This experience taught me many things, but wasn't to last for years. I wrote many php and javascript there, and decided to go one step higher.

The more recent past

For the last five years (well not right know, but next spring), I worked in the French Air Force, for the Military Intelligence Command, writing software to help analysts appreciate information and massive flows of data. I was doing both front-end applications (in html5/javascript/css3), backend services (php, perl, python and c) and databases management.

I ended up the last two years leading an awesome team of three developers, working on our main project. That is a big data analysis appliication.

I was projected twice, in Africa, to provide support for those tools I was building, and get experience returns by the users.

The future

I'm looking to move from the military world back to the civilian world. While having been working on interesting and challenging projects over the last five years, I'm not very happy with my situation. I'm willing to live abroad, and above all, to work in the world of software. I want to be able to use technology as always finding the right tool for the job. I want to be able to learn new skills and technologies. And I want to work in a company where developers are understood and given the means to do a great job.

The cliff notes

I do love programming, and especialy enjoy programming with the full stack. I write mostly perl, php and javascript at work, yet I've spent a lot of time working with go and python.

As of databases, I've been working with databases such as MySQL, PostgreSQL (especially in dealing with geographic databases), but also some NoSQL like Reddis (a little) and graph databases (mostly proprietary ones).
