I'm enthusiastic and impassioned with many years of experience in application development. I have designed and coded the framework and backend for several websites, with one of them having a quick growth. I also did quite a lot of frontend work but prefer to focus my skills on the backend. Before going into web development, I coded desktop apps on Windows using C# and .NET which gives me some perspective on web development. I find the web a much better medium and have dedicated myself to it for many years.

I have worked in various small companies/start-ups that emphasis responsibility, accountability and a quick pace of work. I know how to be organized, focused and motivated. Working in teams is not a problem, whether they are in the same office or in remote locations. I'm accustomed with popular agile management methodologies as well as continuous integration. I have also lead a couple of teams on two different occasions.

My passion for programming started early and I was self-taught until after high school. Going into computer related studies was the natural thing to do. I discovered new fields and technologies as well as perfected myself in the one I already knew. Having lived in multiple countries while growing up, I'm naturally curious and can quickly adapt to new environments. I'm always interested in learning new technologies and I try to stay informed as much as possible, being an heavy-user of Google Reader and an avid reader of Hacker News.

  2 years of solid experience building backend components for a large and rapidly growing website. Has become my language of choice for all new projects. Also built several websites using Tornado, Flask, SqlAlchemy, Django or Rabbitmq.

  More than 10 years of experience. Zend Certified PHP5 Engineer. Specialist in building large scale applications using frameworks (Zend, Symfony), ORMs (Doctrine, Propel), unit testing (PHPUnit) and many more technologies (Redis, Rabbitmq, Mongo, ...).

• Javascript

  Javascript has always been in my toolbox but has grown to become one of my primary languages. Was an early Mootools user but later switched to jQuery.

• Application architecure

  Having many years of experience building small to large applications (web or desktop) using different languages, I have a very solid knowledge of the different programming paradigms, especially object-oriented programming (OOP). I have dealt with all popular design patterns, caching, scaling and built distributed and asynchronous systems.

• HTML & CSS

  I have been building websites for more than 10 years using HTML, XHTML and CSS. I've been closely following the development of HTML5 and CSS3 and I'm already using these technologies in several projects.

• Other languages

  I have been using SQL since my early days with PHP and have experience with MySQL and Postgresql (my favorite) as well as PL/SQL (on Postgres).
  Even if JSON has replaced XML wherever I can, I did a lot of development using XML, XSchema and XSLT. I also had to use RDF while building a graph database.
  Before specializing myself in web architecture/applications, I did a lot of C# and .Net on Windows.
  In a more general way, I love tinkering with languages and my studies as well as several jobs had me work with Ruby, Java, LISP and others.

• System administration

  In parallel to programming I have a lot of interest in systems. I have explored how a system like Linux works by building a custom LFS distribution and by using Gentoo for several years. I have installed, configured and maintained Linux servers with components like Apache, Nginx, database servers, virtualization (Xen and VirtualBox), distributed storage... I've also built and deployed images on Amazon EC2 as well as used S3 to store assets for web apps. For daily use, my OS of choice is Linux (currently using Ubuntu).

Grew up all around the world. Lived in 7 different countries (Europe, North America, Asia, Africa) and visited many more. I love to travel and discover new countries and cultures.

I love and practice skydiving and scuba diving as well as roller blading and badminton. I also did some ATV racing and started learning how to fly planes while a teenager.

I love to cook, build stuff with Legos and model building.

I watch a lot of movies and love going to the cinema (you could call me a cinephile).
