About Me
I'm a lead developer and software architect specializing in Go (Golang), Python and C/C++ on
Linux.
I design and build reliable systems across a wide spectrum: embedded firmware and CE-certified
medical devices, real-time media capture platforms, AI-powered analytics and scalable web services.
Portfolio
Professional Portfolio
Hyperion Captation (Yacast)
Leading the development and maintenance of a sophisticated media capture platform handling multiple broadcast sources (TNT, DVB, Radio, WebStream). Implemented advanced encoding solutions, real-time monitoring systems, and optimized storage infrastructure to ensure seamless media processing and delivery.
P2P & Encrypted Communication for Firing Devices (Davey Bickford Enaex)
Implementation of peer-to-peer and encrypted communication protocols between firing devices to enhance safety and reliability in mining operations.
Media Insights (Yacast)
Development of an advanced media analytics platform leveraging state-of-the-art AI technologies including real-time Speech-to-Text with speaker diarization, Optical Character Recognition (OCR), and multiple AI models for comprehensive content analysis and enrichment.
Media Insights Orchestrator (Yacast)
Design and development of the orchestration service at the heart of the Media Insights platform: distributes Speech-to-Text, OCR and AI enrichment tasks to a fleet of GPU workers, consolidates their results, and manages speaker identification at scale using vector embeddings with pgvector/HNSW similarity search.
Speech-to-Text Workers (Yacast)
Development of GPU workers performing continuous transcription of broadcast streams with Whisper, word-level alignment and speaker diarization, including voice embedding extraction for speaker identification, multi-GPU workload placement, and automatic crash recovery for 24/7 unattended operation.
OCR & LLM Enrichment Workers (Yacast)
Development of workers extracting on-screen text from video frames (subtitles, speaker names, banners) with OCR and confidence-based post-processing, and enriching transcriptions with self-hosted LLMs for content analysis and correction.
Music Recognition Orchestrator (Yacast)
Design and development of the orchestrator driving large-scale audio identification over live and archived broadcast streams: task distribution to a worker fleet, live and backtrack processing, and self-healing result delivery with automatic reconciliation and Prometheus observability.
Audio Fingerprint Orchestrator (Yacast)
Development of the distributed system managing the audio fingerprint reference catalog: fingerprint creation, movement and deletion across index buckets, per-bucket operation serialization, idle-aware index flushing, and in-memory (tmpfs) caching on high-concurrency workers.
Event-Based Camera Wearable Device (SattLutech)
Development of a reliable embedded system integrating event-based camera technology with matrix output processing for real-time visualization on a wearable device.
Hitbox (Yacast)
Development of an Android application leveraging USB capture technology to monitor and analyze audio content in nightclubs, dancing bars, and pubs.
Nexkin Mobile SDK (Chronolife)
Development of a comprehensive SDK enabling seamless integration of ChronoLife's medical devices and predictive analytics libraries into mobile applications, featuring real-time data processing, secure communication protocols, and advanced health monitoring capabilities.
Affini-t/Nexkin/Keesense Mobile App (Chronolife)
Cross-platform mobile application (iOS/Android) designed for seamless integration with CE Class IIa medical devices, featuring real-time monitoring of vital physiological parameters, secure data transmission, and intuitive user interface.
DiagW-FW (Chronolife)
Development of embedded firmware for the Diag T-Shirt medical device, featuring an ARM Cortex M4 (nRF52) microcontroller. The firmware implements comprehensive management of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) connectivity, multiple physiological sensors (temperature, bio-impedance, ECG, respiratory monitoring), NAND flash memory operations, and power management systems, all while maintaining CE Class IIa medical device compliance standards.
ChronoWeb (Chronolife)
Development of secure, HDS-compliant web services and APIs that handle real-time medical data transmission from Chronolife's mobile applications, featuring robust authentication, encrypted data storage, and comprehensive audit logging for regulatory compliance.
BoxRea (Chronolife)
Development of an automated medical system in partnership with the DGA to maintain optimal blood pressure in trauma patients through precise fluid and drug administration, ensuring consistent therapeutic response and improved patient outcomes.
ChronoMonitoring (Chronolife)
iOS and Android application connected to a CE Class IIa medical device that continuously monitors multiple physiological parameters. Features an advanced deep learning algorithm for predictive event detection, enabling early warning of cardiac decompensation and other critical health conditions. The system provides real-time analysis of vital signs, automated alerts, and personalized health insights to support proactive medical intervention.
Century21.fr (Naxos)
Evolving and maintaining century21.fr website and web services, including automated mailing systems for property alerts and client communications, ensuring seamless integration with real estate agency workflows.
Trans21 (Naxos)
A client/server application for french century21 real estates agencies (at naxos).
Consultant at BNP Securities Services (Feel Europe Finance)
Consultant for Feel Europe Finance at BNP Securities Services.
