Description

Expert en ingénierie système et architecture logicielle, avec plus de 25 ans d'expertise dans les logiciels embarqués pour la télévision numérique, j'ai contribué à la réalisation et au déploiement de nombreux décodeurs TV pour de grands opérateurs internationaux.
Expérimenté dans l'analyse des besoins, la specification et la conception et la gestion de projets, j'apprécie la collaboration avec les ingénieurs spécialisés pour concevoir des solutions innovantes et robustes.
Animé par la passion des technologies et de l’informatique, je sais allier une approche globale des architectures système à une expertise pratique du code lorsque le projet l’exige.
