Participated to the development of an integrated solution for restaurants providing online ordering, point-of-sales, kitchen display system, API and the integration with dozens of third-party systems.

Contributed with a team of 20 developers to the back-end running the Growbots.com application for outbound sales.

Built the OVH public cloud based on OpenStack as part of a global team. I delivered internal tools for provisioning large clusters of dedicated servers. Completed server configuration with Puppet, automated operating system image building, and oversaw monitoring.

This is an open-source RSS feed reader written in Python 3 with Django. I created asynchronous fetch of feeds with background tasks, deployed to production using Docker containers, automated with Ansible, and built the front end using the Bulma CSS framework. I used Django static assets served with Caddy and ensured security using HTTPS with Let's Encrypt, HSTS.

Maintainer of IMAPClient, a popular Python library for interacting with email servers.

I fixed issues related to SSL/TLS connections on different versions of Python. Improved the code base by refactoring aging parts. Added support for newer RFCs related to IMAP and improved documentation.

A library providing an on-disk sorted data structure that implements the same interface as Python dicts.

I used a B+ tree for efficient look-ups and traversals, a Write Ahead Log (WAL) for transaction management and Atomicity, supported arbitrary large values using linked overflow pages, and delivered an extensive test suite.

Lightweight engine for background tasks using Redis as an alternative to the popular Celery.

I created supports for at-least-once or at-most-once delivery per task, periodic tasks without an additional process, the scheduling of tasks in batches, embeddable workers for easier testing, first-class support for Python threads, and an extensive test suite.
