About me · Blog · Music blog · Resume
Disponible en version française.
I come from Thonon les Bains, Haute-Savoie, France, and currently live in California with my wife Nicole.
I am a Web services architect at Yahoo!.
I was part of the W3C Team for seven years, at MIT's Laboratory for Computer Science, INRIA and ERCIM. If you want to know what I was doing there, check out my home page at W3C. Before joining W3C, I worked at 3Com in the 3Com development site in Hemel Hempstead, England.
I studied in Annecy, in Haute-Savoie. After two years of intensive work, I attended Ecole Centrale Paris (Vincent Vanhoucke wrote a pretty good description of the French system of higher education which is probably out-of-date and an overview of Centrale), and I than spent a year studying in Diploma in Computer Science at Cambridge University, England (for archiving purposes: results of the class).
Additional information is available on LinkedIn.
I am a computer geek. In Centrale, I was a member of the VIA - Centrale Résaux students association.
I have been proudly using Debian GNU/Linux since 1996 (even in the street, in restaurants, or on RpmFind.net). I used to be a Debian developer but resigned because of lack of time.
Below is an out-of-date list of things that I did a long time ago.
I spent some time of different software projects. I co-started to the VideoLAN project, the project that produced VLC. I also programmed with Etienne Bernard an IRC bot, the bobot. I wrote an ircII script called PhoeBox. I maintained sSMTP for a few years, but I stopped doing that since I don't use it anymore. During my year at Cambridge University, I worked on a research project whose aim was to implement an ATM network control architecture supporting RSVP. I used to spend a lot of time working on ippl.
Nowadays, I participate into the free software community by working on small projects of my own, and by submitting bug reports and patches to bigger projects.
I love listening to music. Have a look at my concerts page.
I was the "singer" of CD2Titres and I am afraid that I now annoy people alone with my guitar... :-)
