The Kantox client interface was complex, very difficult, and slow to add new features and guarantee stability. After a deep analysis of the existing framework and some experiments with isolated applications, I proposed to create an integrated front end based on Ember.js that would eventually replace the existing interface.

Among the major features of the new application, there was a totally overhauled user experience, a responsive web that would optimize the amount of data shown depending on the user device (not just reflow the content), a theming system so clients could have their own branding for their users, and better organization of content. All table rows were expandable, providing more contextual insights without losing the global view with completely customizable user dashboards.

Aside from starting the initiative and leading a hybrid team of developers and getting it to production, I designed a brand new API layer that ended up simplifying the authorization and serialization needs of the back end.

A content app allowing unlimited recursive boxing of content pills named "cubes." The app offers several layouts for cubes, including prose, image galleries, recursive cube displays, and messaging/commenting with advanced access control.

I was CTO and lead developer at the company. Besides choosing the technology to develop it - Ruby on Rails and AngularJS - I mentored the whole team introducing them to said technologies (their background ranged from Java to IBM RPG to PHP) and brought the platform to life in less than half a year.

The platform included creative solutions like an out-of-band server-sent event system and a layout builder.

As part of the French PaaS Cloudwatt offering, Ftopia was chosen to fulfill the file synchronization and sharing solution.

With a team of several distributed developers, we recreated an entirely new UX based on more modern technologies (Vanilla JS to Angular, Rails 2 to Rails 4) that could compete with the major players in the file-sharing market.

Among the features that I have personally added to the project, there are:
• an advanced access control system that could easily transfer across the three execution environments (back end, front end and native desktop app).
• a tree-pruning and rebuilding system to present the user with a consistent view when they were given access to several document trees.
