For the Fondation Médecins Sans Frontières, as the Lead Front-end Engineer, I developed a custom web application from scratch using Vue.js and Node.js.
This application assists microbiologists in testing and manipulating knowledge bases, which are used in measuring and interpreting antibiotic sensitivity tests.
I also set up the continuous integration using GitHub Actions and continuous delivery on the Google Cloud platform, along with thorough testing and documentation.
This application enabled microbiologists to perform tests in a matter of days where it used to take months.
Additionally I redesigned in Webflow the website of Antibiogo, a free diagnostics tool that supports laboratories in delivering reliable antibiotic susceptibility testing.

For the IRD (Institut de Recherche pour le Développement), I automated microbiology data processing using JavaScript, Vue.js, and VBA.
The applications were developed as Microsoft Office add-ins.
This project accelerated the tracking and characterisation of bacterial culture.

At Total E&P in Aberdeen, Scotland, I worked at the Geosciences Research Center.
I modeled and developed a multi-scale flow simulator using MATLAB, and then accelerated it using C++ and GPU with OpenACC.
The purpose of this project was to predict reserves in current and potential reservoirs more quickly and cost-effectively.
I achieved a 22% speedup compared to the sequential version.

At Teads in Montpellier, I created, improved, and maintained web applications using React, Node.js, and Scala within a team of ten people. I also collaborated with several other teams of the same size.
We followed a hybrid methodology of Scrum and Kanban.
Additionally, I contributed to continuous integration and deployment using AWS and had the opportunity to participate in the creation and implementation of an in-house design system.
The applications I worked on helped advertisers such as Samsung and L'Oréal to create, manage, and monitor their campaigns while targeting the right audiences. These applications also allowed publishers like The New York Times and The Economist to monetize their websites and have control over the embedded ads.

During my time at SurgiQual Institute, I worked on several health projects using the Agile software deployment methodology.
These projects included the development of a web-based workflow management application for radiotherapy using jQuery, PHP, and MySQL, as well as a web application for planning hip surgeries using Angular and Symfony.
I also collaborated with Thalès on the reconstruction of 3D images for C-arm imaging using Python, C++ and OpenCV.

At appvizer, I developed new features for the web application using Angular, Spring Boot, and MySQL.
I improved continuous integration using Python and the GitLab API and managed site maintenance, all within a Scrum framework. I also served as a Scrum Master, helping the team improve their Agile practices and deliver the product on time.
The application I worked on helped companies find the right software for their needs.

For Maison Felger, I worked on a 3D web configurator that enables clients to design their ideal shoes.
The tool allows users to select various textures and styles, providing a comprehensive visualization of the shoes from every angle and under different lighting conditions.
The application was built using React and Three.js.

I developed a tournament management application for the esport event M Games.
This comprehensive application includes a back-office designed for organisers to efficiently manage matches and teams, and a user-friendly front-office that provides players and spectators with easy access to all the necessary information: With real-time updates on the leaderboard and on the current, upcoming, and finished matches, participants could stay engaged and informed throughout the entire event.
The application was developed using the Deno Suite: Fresh, Deno KV and Deno Deploy.

I worked on a project for the LAAS-CNRS (Laboratoire d'Analyse et d'Architecture des Systèmes).
We defined a measure of harmony within a moving group and applied it to experimental data using R and MySQL.
This work was highly appreciated by our clients at LAAS due to the originality and relevance of the solution provided, as well as the development of a graphical visualization of individual harmony.

This website is made with a lot of fun and enthusiasm!
But also using Next.js and Tailwind CSS.
I hope you like it! I enjoyed making it anyway 😁
