I am a computer science PhD turned web and mobile developer, driven by a love for code. What I enjoy most about programming is solving real-world problems and creating things from scratch.
I have extensive experience bringing software products from concept to production, both on the backend and as an iOS or Android developer. I am also well-versed in modern JavaScript front-end development.
I am the CTO of Bluesquare.

Projects
Since I started working in private companies in 2008, I have been involved in a wide variety of development projects. Here are some of them:
- IASO: A platform used in global health (in particular for the digitalization of campaigns) to:

- Collect data connected to these facilities offline through an Android mobile application
- Analyze (and export) the collected data in a dedicated data science environment
- Trypelim: A platform combining an Android app with a Django/Python/React web dashboard, used in DR Congo to track and manage the elimination of Sleeping Sickness
- Lexicolor: A fast-paced word game for two players on the same iOS device
- Instaply for iOS: The iOS client of Instaply, an app for customer service through text messaging. I was also responsible for their SDK, data warehouse, and open API
- Matchador: A lighthearted matching game for iPhone. Named one of the Mobile Games of the Year by Le Soir
- Fotolia Instant: A mobile app allowing users to sell their smartphone photos on the Fotolia stock photography market. I worked on both the iOS and Android versions
