We use a variety of platform to achieve this and give our community the best tools to keep sharing goods. My role is to work on the iOS App and the Facebook Messenger bot and the backend services associated to it as well as research in the conversational UI space and Artificial Intelligence. On the iOS side: - We use custom controller transitions between several path to guide the user. We use dynamic animations to give the user a sense of accomplishment or confirmation about their actions. - To provide a stable app, I've built and added Unit Testing and UI Integration Testing with continuous integration. We constantly monitor and increase the code coverage of our tests. Using the latest swift lets us implement testing in a new way that Objective-C did not let us. - We always go the extra mile to design and develop an interface that will scale universally on several type of device. Same goes with our business code, encapsulated in modules, it's reusable across different kind of Apple technologies like TvOS or WatchOs. - I'm also experimenting with Swift server-side with Perfect to provide services to the iOS App and reuse our data/business code across the full stack. App is available on the US App Store. On the Facebook Messenger and Javascript side: - Use of Node.js and ES6 to develop small services supporting a Messenger Bot. - Small React components for the bot hybrid web interface inside Messenger - Small experience in devops with Amazon services. Also use of Redis on ElasticCache. - Different experience building conversational UI with Api.ai, Wit.ai, IBM watson, all handled by various logic cores like rule engine or state machine. - Built image recognition services to identify items from a user submitted photo. Bot is available at http://insta.gives ### Senior Software Engineer @ Cotap, Inc. Jan 2014 – Jan 2015 * Work with the rest of the iOS and Engineering team to deliver a business oriented messaging platform to more than 10000 companies. * Develop, maintain and improve an iPhone and iPad app with 200K professional users. * Adapt the processes and code quality to an ever changing competitive environment and pace. Challenges: Working with a professional messenger app is one of the most interesting challenge I have been given. -Features like live read receipts, typing indicators and active presence information need to be as fast as possible. To solve this we opted to implement from scratch an MQTT client, SSL secure, and I was given the task to implement it on the iOS side. Being at the forefront of the market and given room to invent what ever was needed was an extremely interesting experience. - We collectively decided to start adopting Swift 1.0 when it came out by starting to write new code with it. Trying to fit a new language principles and patterns into an Objective-C codebase, with limited support from Swift 1.0, was a very enriching experience. Having gone through that process and now having Swift 2.0 available to me, I learned a lot in the process about architecting code and defining guidelines within the team. - Project lead: our organization worked with rotating project lead, making me work and lead members of other engineering team such as Android and API teams. Adapting schedule and requirements with other platforms specifics has been strengthening my leading skills. ### Senior Mobile Software Engineer @ NetApp Jan 2013 – Jan 2014 | Sunnyvale • Lead the iOS team, train junior members, improve code quality. • Design, implement and deliver iOS clients of NetApp Connect. • Helped transitioning from a startup to a corporate division. • Maintain forward and backward compatibility of iOS versions. Challenges: While continuing to develop, reengineer features and a complete UI overhaul, a request was made to share the QA automated test process across iOS and Android clients. I provided the engineering team with a test harness API made in JavaScript and used a language bridge between JS and Obj-C / Java. QA was then able to make custom calls to our business logic code, all automated with the build system and shared across all current or future platforms. ### Senior Software Engineer @ ionGrid, Inc. Jan 2011 – Jan 2013 | Mountain View CA Company was acquired by NetApp • Design and develop the mobile client side of the company’s product. • Security driven code architecture. • Continuous watch over new technologies related to mobile security, mobile applications. Challenges Working in a startup for a product targeting a new and competitive market, focus was on creating cutting edge features while also providing a very reliable app that would perform well on every device / network. Some of those features involve our own rendering annotation engine for documents and an RPC network interface that would react and reprioritize jobs. Because of the high security requirement of our product, we were able to design a policy engine that would be downloading policies when connected and be able to run on its own on the device. The enables the app to be able to determine access rights based on time, location and other factors all while offline or if the device was stolen. ### Mobile Application Technical Manager @ SPIR Communication - (Paris) Jan 2010 – Jan 2011 • Manage mobile application projects over different products and various platforms. • Ensure project and technical deliverability. • Plan and manage resources through different projects.
