Odoo

Odoo.sh Tech Lead

August 2016 - Present

Odoo is an open-core suite of business apps whose Community edition is licensed under the GNU LGPLv3.

I came back at Odoo in order to build Odoo.sh ( https://www.odoo.sh ), a cloud hosting platform (PaaS) integrated to Github, providing continuous integration tools and flows for fast development iterations and automated deployment of Odoo based solutions.

Starting my mission as Core Developer, I had the chance to work closely with both the CEO and the CTO on the design phase of the platform. Over time I endorsed the responsibility for the platform and took on additional roles such as Team Leader and Product Owner.

I'm most proud of having developed an in-house container engine and orchestrator from scratch and also having contributed to the development of the most successful Odoo product in terms of growth.

BICS

Senior Python Developer

November 2014 - August 2016

BICS delivers best-in-class international wholesale solutions to any communication service provider worldwide.

I joined the SMI (Systems Integration and Monitoring) team responsible of network monitoring and ETL pipelines.

During my mission at BICS I had the opportunity to design and develop a generic and extensible solution in order to handle all the specific needs for future data pipelines and progressively replace the ETL scripts in place.
At the core of the solution I implemented a YAML based DSL for modelling data pipelines, select compression methods, filename handling, ... as well as a custom hook system allowing to extend and overload the predefined behavior. The main challenge here was to keep the productivity of Python while handling a large amount of data.

I also worked on the maintenance and the improvement of several legacy applications written in the Django framework and replaced one of them by a React single page application.
