About

Who am I?

I am a software engineer driven by achievements. An enthusiast teammate who loves building software and pushing projects forward. Thanks to this mindset, I also participated in entrepreneurship adventures and enjoyed product and management positions. My interests, initially focused on software engineering, have grown along the way: system engineering, strategy, business and management.

I’m currently working for the cloud provider 3DS Outscale in a team whose goal is developing a disruptive version of an IAM (Identity and Access Management). On the menu: distributed authorization with Biscuit token and only one authentication system per user, with uncorrelated tenants.

What is this site?

A place to keep my own writings. The articles cover a broad range of software development topics, from technical tutorial to software team management. I prioritize subjects that seem little covered or which I can address with an original vision. Additionally, I might also write about my hobbies: guitar improvisation, sailing, video games… But not too often to keep time for practice!

History

I grew up in Toulouse, France. I went to Polytech Montpellier from 2010-4 where I got a MEng in Computer Science and Microelectronics. After graduating, I came back to Toulouse working as a developer on the warehouse management system of an e-commerce thrid-party logistics company.

Two years later, I took the opportunity to create a video game start-up, with business partners. I learned a lot about entrepreneurship and autonomy.

Then I moved to Paris and joined Neqo, a corporate start-up, several months after its creation, as a technical lead. In three years, I assembled a team of five developers and managed them to create two business intelligence SaaS applications, used by procurement departments of large companies and administrations.

I quit Neqo to combine passion and work as a game developer freelancer. I mainly worked on a personal project: a PVP multiplayer video game. Due to the difficulty of finding funds and interesting missions, I resigned myself and looked for a new, exciting project.

That’s how I joined the cloud provider industry by integrating Outscale in 2023. I’m really glad I found a project with exciting challenges and a great team where I’m not confined in a limited role.

I’m currently living in Rennes, France, working partially remotely.
