I am 36 and come from Nantes (France). Graduated from the EPSI Nantes School (France) in October 2013, where I obtained a Master of Engineering (MEng), Information Technology, I decided to take the opportunity to work for different companies around the world and joined my wife in the Netherlands where we live since 2016.

Based in the Hague (the Netherlands), I have been working as a technical consultant for 7 years now. Before joining Celigo, I worked for mulitple organizations in different fields as a Software Engineer/Technical Consultant. My 12 years of experience enabled me to gain a deep knowledge of software development and work along with the clients to offer them solutions meeting their needs. Regularly confronted with unexpected problems, I have been required to react and find solutions quickly. My main goal is to make sure that the client’s quality standards and deadlines are met.

Over the course of my previous experiences, I had the chance to work in different aspects of projects. I started as a .Net software engineer and could therefore learn how to implement and maintain solutions. My experience in backend development allows me to work with databases to analyze/interpret data by extracting relevant information for business decisions. As of today, as a technical consultant, my mission is to collect requirements and analyze customizations requested by the clients in order to avoid any unexpected impacts. To achieve this, I am required to know perfectly the systems and assist the development teams in the design and consolidation of the implementation. Throughout the projects I have been involved in, I had the opportunity to work by using both waterfall model and agile methodology. I obtained my PRINCE2 certificate in 2019 which helped me to understand how to manage projects within certain environments.

I do believe my experience, along with my willingness to constantly do my best, improve myself and take on new challenges do enable me to contribute to the success of the company I am working for.
