Employment
Experience
- Boston Consulting Grouphttps://www.bcg.com/
The website contains 10,000 publications and 50 different content types. We used the Brightspot CMS framework which is totally customizable and Java.
I contributed as a full-stack developer to the CMS of Boston Consulting Group and some of my main responsibilities included API creation, data extraction support for the machine learning team, and E2E automated testing with WebdriverIO. - Masala Projecthttps://github.com/masala/masala-parser/
Masala Parser is a framework for creating your own dedicated parser. You can parse a date, an airplane ticket, anything special in your business.
It's a JavaScript implementation of the Haskell Parsec. It is plain JavaScript that works in the browser, tested with more than 450 unit tests, covering 100% of code lines. - Neo Funerairehttps://web.neo-funeraire.com/client/catalog/14
I was the CTO for this small startup—decided part of the used technologies and followed the project for almost two years.
The CEO had low technical skills, therefore I had to translate his thoughts in technology while defining a possible schedule and fitting a low budget. - Hotelubhttps://www.hotelub.fr
A social network for travelers. I used Masala Parser to retrieve travel information inside emails and worked in the Angular application.
- Dockdoku PLMhttps://www.docdokuplm.com/features/viewer/
Dockdoku PLM is an open-source PLM project bringing product information in web or even iPad inside the production sites, adding speed for some processes.
- ConjectMIhttps://www.conjectmi.net
This offline mobile app enables construction architects to manage building issues and communicate with different teams of craftsmen on these issues.
- Thelia eCommerce Platformhttps://www.cqfdev.fr/
The Thelia eCommerce site was designed for the dental industry, following each step of a dental quote process.
Designed for a startup, the product, unfortunately, didn't survive in the market. I worked with CQFdev, a strong eCommerce agency in Toulouse. - TeqTrack
An IoT startup tracking constructor business to prevent theft of tools.
The back end was built on Django with PostgreSQL and Elasticsearch. Communication was made to Sigfox or Lora network. The tools were authorized to work during some periods and inside an area, sending alerts if they were vibrating outside of these rules. - Working with React Hooks and TypeScript (Publication)Hooks have already changed the way we use React for the better. Add TypeScript to the mix, and developers can leverage static typing and type transformations to reduce the noise of many interface descriptions. In this article, Toptal Software Developer Nicolas Zozol demonstrates hooks and TypeScript in React and explains how this powerful combo can save time and streamline your code.
