Development Architect at Softeam: contractor at CACEIS Issy-les-Moulineaux

Manage the continuous deployment platform "DEEP" of CACEISIt involves Ansibles playbooks, called by Jenkins pipelines, getting the code source from RTC. The goal will be to introduce docker and Kubernetes to optimize how those tools are managed/updated.

Start with developing in Go a way to synchronize playbooks between Ansible PROD and Ansible Staging.
Still in Go, get statistics about Ansible jobs et put them in a Elasticsearch/Kibana for review.
Study WAS stability and create an Ansible job to enforce WAS settings.

In 2021, I participate to the "move to the Cloud" of CACEIS, using Microsoft Azure as cloud. I use Terraform to deploy ACI, build sidecar containers and document the all process.

HSBC GBM Paris is part of the investment bank (Global Banking & Markets) of HSBC.\ My team (see previous experience) has been reassigned to ITO (Information Technology Operations).\ I am still the French correspondent for that team, managed by the global department of ALM (Application Lifecycle Management), and under the local supervision of GBM Paris ITO team.I am studying the deployment and usage of a DVCS (Distributed Version Control System) like Git, with links to RTC - Rational Team Concert, both for HSBC developers and for external third-party collaboration.\ This study is based on the general presentation I gave at "CodeKen 2011 - DVCS in BIG CORPORATION (YouTube)" (slides at slideshare.net, session mentioned at lanyrd).It involves being compliant with ISR (Internet Security Review) recommendations. It also required patching Apache Http 2.4.x (See http://stackoverflow.com/q/18874062/6309)GitHub project: https://github.com/VonC/compileEverything

HSBC GBM Paris is part of the investment bank (Global Banking & Markets) of HSBC.\ I am the French correspondent of the IT Quality GBM department, managed from HSBC London. I work with the IT Quality team of GBM Paris.I am studying the transition from SVN-ClearCase to IBM Rational Team Concert (RTC) in order to integrate in one tool various development aspects (from requirements to source code versioning to build, test, and releases).\ That will help the development and release process, but also legal obligations like SOX audits.

Development Architect at Softeam: contractor at SGCIB ITEC

I helped defining and implementing a common development platform on centralized servers (Solaris and Linux), used by the various teams within the ITEC (IT support department) of the SGCIB (Investment Banking) of Société Générale.\ Compared to my previous experience, this was a transversal role for all ITEC teams, not just GEDS, and included support and services for Bengalore teams as well.The global development platform was composed of:

various repositories (code with SVN, Clearcase and Git, artifacts with Maven-Nexus)
cm tool (change management: Jira)
various code audit tools (Sonar, Fisheye)

I introduced Git (a DVCS) and made it compliant with the high security standard of a large corporation (see this SO answer for general details)

What is the fascination with code metrics? — Stack Overflow

The answers in this thread are kind of odd as they speak of:

"the team", like "the one and only beneficiary" of those said metrics;
"the metrics", like they mean anything in themselves.

But:

Metrics is not for one population, but for three
Metrics, by themselves, represent a snapshot of the code, and that means... nothing!
