In 2014 I moved to San Francisco.
I'm now working at Zendesk (NYSE:ZEN, 2,000+ employees) in the API team. I worked on endpoints performance and started leading a new project to allow our customers to store JSON objects in our infrastructure, using technologies
such as Cassandra, AWS RDS Aurora and developed in Scala.
I also worked at 8tracks as a backend engineer, developing a large scale tool
based on AWS S3 and Redshift to import audio tracks from partners, and improving the backend
performance (web and mobile API) for their millions of users. I also lead the migration from Ruby 1.9/Rails 3 to Ruby 2/Rails 4.
In 2011 in Paris, France, I co-founded and was the CTO at Fidzup, an ad-tech startup that recently raised $3.5m.
I lead a team of 5 people (backend, web & mobile frontend, physical hardware) to develop 3 products: physical retargeting, in-store analytics and mobile ad display (based on a patented in-house ultrasonic technology).
We maintained several mobile SDKs and the backend services were running on PostgreSQL, Ruby, Rails, Redis and MongoDB.
Back in 2000 I learned PHP, created multiple personal and a few commercial websites and been involved in numerous projects (creating IRC network communities,
non profits for web-hosting).
I discovered Ruby on Rails 💎 in 2009 and was the first intern/employee
at Nimble Apps (Paris, France), doing Rails and Javascript (jQuery) for 2 years.
