Bio

Yannick has been a programmer for more than 10 years. He trained as a mathematical and technical software developer and has studied artificial intelligence. You could characterize him as a full-stack developer with a preference for back-end work. He's strongest in C++, Java, and C#, but he also has a fair knowledge of many others: C, Python, Django, JavaScript, Lua, and Bash. He's punctual, flexible, and works until the job is done.

Experience

Avionic Configuration Software

I developed a configuration platform for aviation products. I also designed a generic configuration tool with a shared IO, data structure, CLI, and GUI (C++/Qt). I used plugins to handle product specific data dependencies and UI elements and implemented a plugin for one product.

IHNP

I built IHNP which is an application that collects and processes data from different gaming platforms; it has a desktop UI written in GTK+. It required some reverse engineering of incompletely documented public APIs, conversion of platform specific data into an independent data structure, and zero trust encryption of sensitive data.

picturemaxx Rendering Network

I created a new high-performance system and infrastructure for queuing, load balancing, and processing of expensive and asynchronous tasks such as image and video rendering.

my-picturemaxx 5.0

http://my-picturemaxx.com/

I developed a new version of the media search engine my-picturemaxx. I used the client-side C++ Qt UI as well as hybrid HTML content. The data communication used custom SSL certificate management, white box encryption, and XML.

Longscroll-Qt

https://github.com/TripleWhy/longscroll-qt

A library for creating long scrollable widgets with millions of elements.

Carcasum

https://github.com/TripleWhy/Carcasum

A computer clone of the board game Carcassonne created to research about the Monte-Carlo Tree Search.

Language Identification

A library for detection of multiple natural languages within one input document.

Hotel Matcher

Software that automatically maps a large amount of hand-input hotel client data to internal data that's based on only a few, non-normalized properties.

ServerGrep

Software for the fast-parsing, analysis, and categorization of large log files on many remote servers without needing to download the files.

Statistical Communication Analysis

A framework for statistical analysis and detection of irregularities in communication with different client infrastructures.
