Experience

Software engineer @ Worldline

During my 10 years at Worldline, I worked mainly for international corporate clients in the banking ecosystem. I helped deliver projects with a high level of complexity and requirement. On most of the projects, I was involved in the full lifecycle of the software, including functional workshops with the client, specifications writing and going all the way to the deployment and exploitation of the final product. Occasionally, I took part in the pre-sales process, helping to win some projects.

As a lead dev, my latest projects gave me the opportunity to share my knowledge and experience with my teams. I also co-organized and spoke monthly at an internal micro-conference.

Interests

When not working, I spend a lot of time outdoors, mostly road or gravel cycling. Could be for a one-hour quick ride or a week-long trip, I'm always ready to go! I'm always up for trying new sports or finding ways to push myself.

If the weather is not on my side, my time inside is spent trying to self-host as many apps as possible or tinkering with the latest tech.
