👨‍💻 Ph.D. / Engineer · Computer Science and Networks
Welcome to my online portfolio!
I am a Software Architect, Senior Developer at Siemens, currently working as part of the team managing code.siemens.com. With more than 50,000+ users throughout all divisions, this platform is central within the IT organization of the group. Our mission is to make life simpler for our developers.
I am also a Social Coding Ambassador for topics related to Open Source or DevOps practices.
On behalf of Siemens, I directly contribute upstream to the software we use, following an Open Source first philosophy.

Mobile Application Developer Intern for Satellite Control Centers (SCCs)
Final 6-month internship at Airbus Defence and Space (ex-Astrium) when I studied at INSA Toulouse.
During this internship, my goal was to develop an application for Airbus’s Satellite Control Centers (SCCs). This application had to be platform-independent (i.e., non-native) to be usable on every smartphone, tablet or computer. Incrementally, I collected various user needs about the features that the application should provide. From that point, I implemented them, performed testing and wrote documentation. An important part of my internship was also dedicated to R&D activities in order to find suitable and open-source softwares regarding some application features (e.g., Network monitoring, Wiki solution, graph visualization).
Skills acquired during this internship:
- AGILE philosophy and SCRUM method
- Modern Web programming languages (HTML5, CSS3)
- Network monitoring (CPU, traffic, alerts) with Zabbix software
- Responsive CSS implementation for correct display on different devices (PC, tablet, smartphone)
- Demonstration and presentation of the application to heterogeneous audiences, including high-level Airbus executives by video-conference
- Planning, sense of responsibility, autonomy
QoS Analyst Intern for Mobile Networks
As part of the Detection-Analyze-Orientation (DAO) team, my days were divided in two parts. On mornings, I was taking part to the detection process of incidents by analyzing K ey Primary Indicators (KPIs) pulled from the Orange Mobile Network. On afternoons, I was joining a development team to help them designing and developping a web-based application called "Juice" to interpret these KPIs.
Skills acquired during this internship:
- Web programming languages (PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript)
- Learning and use of the jQuery library
- SQL database management and SQL queries
- Planning, sense of responsibility, autonomy
Intern worker
Affected in the electrical maintenance service, this one-month worker internship allowed me to discover the industry sector. I mostly performed filter and lighting replacements. I also made small wirings and participated in interventions on various electrical engines.
