Work Experience:

03/2010 – Present : INTRASOFT International (Luxembourg)

Senior Software Programmer, technical lead of the XTNET server team, managing 2 Senior Software Programmers.

• In charge of submitting technical offers to our Customers (many different products and projects), including:
  • Assisting our Customers in clarifying their needs and solving blocking or critical production issues.
  • Writing requirements/specifications/design documents
  • Proposing state-of-the-art solutions, ensuring they meet all needs and constraints
  • Estimating time and resources requirements with risk analysis
  • Translating needs into technical objectives for the implementation team
  • Meeting presentation, demos
• Staffing: CVs selection, recruitment interviews, responsible for the choice of the selected candidate.
• Project management:
  • Planning and coordinating the tasks of the implementation team in fast pace and quickly changing contexts,
  • Projects follow-up (quality of deliverables, deadlines)
  • Proactively analyzing performance issues and find ways to improve work processes
  • Knowledge management :
    • Training new software developpers on the XTNET server.
    • Explaining business and implementation rules to developpers, testers in other teams implementing clients.
• Software engineering:
  • More than 50,000 lines of C code written to extend the data warehousing system that computes the external trade statistics in Eurostat.
  • Code refactoring : more than 20,000 lines of C code refactored to ease maintenance
  • Algorithm redesign and reimplementation : correctness, scalability, performances
  • Introduce new datastructures to ease introduction of new features and abstract away low level backend details

01/2008 – 03/2010: INRIA (France)

Lead Developer on KPASSA v2:

• restart from scratch a previous software made in the team, due to a need for a modular design.

• huge improvements on runtime (algorithms).

• adding an easy to use and customizable gui.

R&D:

• implementing optimizations for latency-insensitive design: new dynamic scheduled implementation, fifo sizing (see Publications).
• involved in 2 projects French ANR HelP and ST Nano 2012 SystemTLM.

10/2004 – 12/2007: INRIA (France)

PhD Student R&D:

• implementing latency-insensitive design: dynamic scheduled implementation, static scheduled implementations (see Publications).
• introducing the new model of computation: Kahn-extended Event Graphs, it introduces “static” routing in Event Graphs as first class object. This enables to perform correct-by-construction transformations on the network topology, and to introduce “static control” in Event Graphs: for instance, to synthesize for loops.

10/2000 – 10/2001: WAIDAN S.A. (France)

Network and System Administrator:
