• Project with three other students in our computer science study: manage a project from the start, write specifications, design the software, distribute tasks and implement the product using Java.
• I was the project manager. I enhanced my skills of team coordination and planning.

• I was one of 25 people who were offered one week in a hotel in south of France to work with Apple engineers, after submitting a financial application that downloaded share prices (using the French Minitel) and drew charts.

• Pascal, Object Pascal (since 1990)
• Visual Basic, ASP
• Scheme, Prolog

• Used numerous object frameworks: Sun's JDK, Symantec's TCL, Metrowerks' PowerPlant -- as a consequence it is easy for me to quickly learn some new environment, frameworks and adapt to your existing code base.
• Open source projects like Apache (HTTP server), JBoss (J2EE application server), Tomcat (JSP/Servlet engine), NetBeans / Sun's Forte, IBM's Eclipse.
• Metrowerks CodeWarrior Professional.
• 4D RAD products (Client, Server, Compiler, Insider, etc.). Extensive experience of 4D. I also developed cross platform C plugins for 4D.
• Microsoft VisualStudio, Visual SourceSafe.

Four-year degree (equivalent to a master's degree) at the Ecole des Mines de Nantes (France), a top university-level engineering school with 11 months of internship during the 4 years of studies. The school trains engineers with a broad education, therefore specialization occurs after 2 years of multi-disciplinary lessons. I am specializing in Software Engineering.
