I worked on the conception, the development, the maintenance and the support of all the iOS frameworks of the Ogury Ltd., an international AdTech company.

I'm part of a small team (<15 people) and I work closely with the DevOps team to improve all our processes by improving our CI / CD and enforcing code quality (SonarCloud, SwiftLint).

Senior Software Engineer

During my time with Amaris in France, I've worked for many clients ranging from medium companies based in France to major international players like Thales Alenia Space, Adecco Group, Janssen (Johnson & Johnson), Nestlé, etc.

I had the opportunity to mentor two different mentees (one for Android and one for iOS), it was during this occasion that the spark of mentorship first appeared.

Senior iOS Consultant

My first worldwide work experience, I joined an international team comprised of more than 100 people and within two year, we nearly reached the 160 headcount.

That was my first solid encounter with Agile methodologies, Git workflow and code quality enforcement. It was during this time that I did my first git rebase, my first code review and my first CI setup.

It was a tremendous work experience, it taught me most of the things I know today from how to recruit new members for the team, how to perform solid & relevant code reviews and most importantly, work with folks from all around the globe.

Senior Consultant

After beginning my career with Web development (PHP then C# / .Net), I had an opportunity to move toward the mobile development word and I never looked back.

Since then, I've worked on all shapes of mobile Apps, whether they were meant for internal use or not, ranging from simple tooling Apps to multi-purpose Apps (e-commerce, connected machine, user reward program, etc.).

Sure, there was some moments where I needed to dive back for small time projects but I've been working on mobile Apps for nearly a decade now and its not going to change anytime soon.

My first experience in Swift started with version 3 when I managed to convince my team at the time to start all our new frameworks in Swift and convert the old Objective-C code to the brand new shiny stuff.

And I bless every single day when I'm able to code in my favorite language whether its writing Protocol-Oriented frameworks or mobile Apps based on Reactive Programming paradigm.

Also, I'm a fervent defender of the MVVM architecture but I'm more than open to try new things.

Moving on from C# & .Net development, I've started my career in iOS development with Objective-C on a iPad App for field surveys, afterward I joined different teams and worked on multiple App projects.

I boarded the Swift boat when it became clear that it was a solid alternative to Objective-C but I haven't forgotten where I came from, as of today, I'm still practicing my skills on this wonderful language that sprouted more than 30 years ago.

And unfortunately, I joined the boat after the great ARC arrived, so no, I won't respond to joke based on the pre-ARC period.

There's not a single project I would begin that would not start with an Initial commit followed by the creation of a development branch.

I also wrote a lengthy article on an improved version of GitFlow based on the original GitFlow article.
