About :
« Once my engineering degree passed on 2005, I joined digitick.com, a one year old startup with only one employee. I became its CTO 2 years later. I helped it to grow up til 2012. When I left, it had more than 100 employees and has been bought by Vivendi.
On july 2012, I joined Let Network France, another young startup with an extremely ambitious project: to create a new social network as Facebook is.
The Let adventure came to an end in november 2013, I now work as Freelance. »
Technical Skills
On my way, I used a lot of languages, librairies and other tools. Here is a short list of my favorites ones:
Thanks to a fundraising, the Let adventure has restarted on july 2014, with a reduced team.
I took responsibility for API developments to let the IOS team to extends the iPhone apps features, while maintaining tge web platform.
I developed differents services, in particular the private or public "chat rooms" one which allows to the users to chat like IRC does but also to share medias.
Available on Web, IOS and Android, Let is a social network like Facebook with a focus on medias sharing.
The Let team was composed by 15 people specialised: 1 Web, 1 Android, 2 IOS, 3 servers, 2 ITs and the rest in marketing, design and QA.
I fully developed the Web client which is a Single Page Application using HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript technologies.
It's powered by MVP framework closed to Backbone JS that I coded from scratch.
Server side is powered by Python, I especially coded the first version of the mediabox which is a server dedicated to the media storage.

Web developer then CTO
Digitick SA
September 2005, July 2012 (7 years - 5 years as CTO)
Digitick is the french leader on online ticketing for concerts, sport matches, museums...
I joined digitick.com when it was a startup with only one employee. When I left it, it had became a group with 2 companies bought (ZePass and Satori) and more than 100 employees.
I developed or managed the development of many features and services for digitick.com and its hundred of clients like Eiffel Tower,...
Management
During 5 years (from sept. 2007 to aug. 2012), I let a team from 12 to 20 engineers on Web technologies.
I was technologically responsible for the entire development area, I worked closely with the IT and other department heads.
One of the most difficult task was to deal with extremely short deadline projects, indeed, the Events (concerts, sports...) world is a surprising completely disorganized world.
I had to manage various backends, data analysis and extremely specifics external interfaces, but always extending our stable platform.
I developed / managed a huge part of our white label e-ticketing solution.
The fifth version of this solution is powering e-ticketing such as the official one of the Eiffel Tower, 24H du Mans, L'Arena... This solution allows designers to provide a new white label e-ticketing in maximum 2 days focusing on its CSS.
I developed the prototype of a ticketing spot, as a JavaScript Single Page Application to answer the call for tenders of the Eiffel Tower (and we won !).
It's a solution which allows organizers to sell tickets at their entrances thanks to a browsers. It handles several devices (printers, LCD monitor...).
It's now deployed on many places (Eiffel tower, stadiums,...).
I developed the 3 firsts versions of the access control (embedded C in terminal, advanced MySQL schedulers and PHP Web services to generate binary data).
Digitick's back-office is a huge platform which allows events organisers to configure their sales, from the simple quota to the numbered seats of stadiums, with or without specific external interfaces.
It also provides CRM features, advanced documents generated using a visual editor in JavaScript, fine extracts, real time view of sales en entries from the access control.
It's a 8 real years of code by many developers including I.
I managed a huge part of these developments.
Misc
During this period, I have faced and passed interesting challenges on the production platform (MySQL optimisations, DB replications errors, hardware failures,...).
Working closely with the CIO was extremely formative and motivating, I really liked handling a so huge platform (10 front servers diskless, 2 NetApp, 2 DB servers...).
Inside Secure (formerly known as Inside Technologies) is a startup developing RFID solutions (From RFID chips to end solution).
I developed internal solutions to bench chips from the PCB design and the software code to the manual user. My most interesting project was to evaluate the chips before their submission to certification, I had to analyse the ISO 15963 answers of the chips.
Personal Projects
I develop and share on my free time, here are some of my projects:
gmap3 is a jQuery plugin which allows to use Google Maps API easily with advanced features.
I started to develop this plugin on 2010, and it is now well known and used all over the Internet, lot of integrator has included it into their websites, wordpress themes...
Flow is a flexible engine which allows to create various "coverflow", carousel and other types to display pictures.
Flow is designed to allow developers to create their own display by focusing on the css management.
