About

With over 14 years of experience, I am considered as an expert in architecture and development of online applications. During my career I have worked with various technologies. NET 1.1, 2.0 and 3.5, SOA, ASP, VB, Java, PHP, C + +, Delphi (4) and Perl.

Fascinated by computers, I began programming pretty early and, at 17, I won the first prize of a development nationwide contest in Algeria. Later, I joined an engineering school and continued my studies at the Institut National Polytechnique de Toulouse (France) to get an engineering degree in computer science and robotics.

In 1995, I started to develop online booking web sites for hotels in France after which I started up a consulting company in Paris specialized in multimedia applications’ development (mainly web technologies). In 1998 I moved to Quebec and worked as a consultant in online and e-Commerce solutions. A bit more than a year later, I have been hired by Ultramar, as an e-commerce and application architect. Will follow 6 years as a technical leader, where I designed, analyzed and developed n-tiered web applications using Microsoft technologies (. NET, ASP, VB) in an international financial company (Computershare Limited).

During this experience, I faced the challenges of developing secure and highly available web applications (the number of users often exceeding the million).

Thereafter, I  joined Bell for 3 years as a Senior .NET Architect and eventually promoted as a practice manager. During this period, I participated in several projects to develop online solutions with Microsoft technologies including a strategic project at Transat Tour Canada where I acted as an architect and technical leader to develop an online travel booking application (http://www.airtransat.ca). During this mandate, I also took  the opportunity to help Transat to adopt the SCRUM development methodology (I am a Certified SCRUM Master).

My peers know me for my dynamism, my team spirit, my pragmatism  and leadership. I am always looking to deliver simple solutions that not only correspond to clients’ needs but also maximize their ROI.
