Aug. 2008 - Aug. 2010, Java J2EE Software Developer, SHAM (Lyon)

The main goal of this mission was to develop software evolutions and to correct bugs on a contract management application for the SHAM (Société Hospitalière d'Assurances Mutuelles - business hospital insurance company).

This Java J2EE application allows the employees to manage the customers contracts (hospitals, doctors, etc..), in order to bill them, renew their contract, edit documents, etc. It is divided in 3 parts:

Business side: this application manages all the customers contracts and keep them alive over the time.
Document management: records of billing, payment schedule, special conditions, etc. are edited directly in the application (HP Extream, Adobe LiveCycle or Word (WordML)).
Automatic process: through batchs also developed in Java, contracts are receipted, renewed, etc. automatically.

As a technical expert on this project, I worked mainly on the application development, both on the front and back office.
In particular, I've dealt with:

A major development of the software, during almost a year, in collaboration with a functional analyst. This development was designed in particular to manage new type of contracts, but also to rethink the whole system billing, covers management, etc.
An evolution that allows the contracts created by online subscribers (directly from the website of the SHAM) to be automatically integrated in the application I've worked on.
PL/SQL procedures to migrate data to the old AS400 system.
Application deliveries, fully customizable, for example to deliver in emergency older versions without support of some changes, etc..

Very rewarding, this mission allows me today to deal with complex systems developed in Java.

FUNDAMENTAL POINTS:

Technical expert on a contract management application for the business hospitals insurance

May 2008 - June 2008, Contracting owner assistant, SNCF (Communication department) (Lyon)

SNCF has various applications to send SMS to their customers and train controllers, in order to inform for example a delay, prevent an incident on a train, and so on.

These applications are all connected to a specific service provider for sending and receiving SMS, which creates a non-homogenization of exchange protocols, as well as difficulties in establishing new applications using this type of service.

For this mission I had to assist the customer (SNCF) in the drafting of a project specification for the establishment of a common platform for sending SMS, before the launch of an invitation to tender at the European level.

First, I had to study the existing applications, in order to understand how they operate, to draft the communication protocols for the common platform.

I also participated in the drafting of technical and functional standards solutions to be considered for accommodating future applications using sending / receiving SMS.

This mission was very rewarding, I could see the steps of the building of a customer project, with the research of ideas, phases of reflexion, definition of need, and so on.

FUNDAMENTAL POINTS:

Contracting owner assistant for the drafting of a project specification for the establishment of a common platform for sending SMS / MMS

May 2007 - June 2007, PHP Software Developer, GTIE Transport (Vinci group) (Lyon)

The objective of this mission was to develop the back office of a decision support application for the road traffic management in Rhone-Alps region.
The front office already existed, I had to study the database architecture with the aim of not modifying the existing application.

The only constraints were imposed on the use of PHP coupled with a MySQL database. In order not to propose a basic form-filling application, with all the constraints due to the database relations, the back office was developped entirely through a Web 2.0 approach; establish a "rich" web based application, by developping an interactive tool allowing the user to create its objects as he sees without following a precise and defined path.

Working alone on this mission, it took place in excellent conditions, no bug has been found during the recipe phase.

FUNDAMENTAL POINTS:

Development of a back office for a decision support application for road traffic management in Rhone Alps region
Realization by a fully Web 2.0 approach, with the use of YahooUI and Scriptaculous libraries

May 2006 - June 2006, .NET Software Developer (Internship), Téléinfo (IT) lab. of UQAM (Montréal)

As my french university had an agreement with the UQAM (University of Quebec in Montreal), I went in Montreal for a year to finish my degree. I took advantage of being in a foreign country to do my internship, with gave me the opportunity to discover the local world of work.

My internship was held in the research laboratory of computer science of the university (headed by one of my teachers), populated mostly by researchers and PhD students.

My mission was trying to establish a bridge of communication between an application for networks configuration (ValidMaker, made by the laboratory), and EDI Cisco (an application for networks configuration), jointly with a PhD student.

The application to modify already existed, first I had to study it, and then to seek information about EDI (Released in April 2006), to see the possibilities to establish the communication between these two applications.

The balance at the end: information successfully found, .NET technology learned, application (communication made by SSH) modified, and design documentation drafted, someone else getting my work in order to carry out tests and remaining changes (1 month and a half being relatively short).

FUNDAMENTAL POINTS:

Development of a .NET application for network management
English documentation study of the EDI Cisco
Learning Netconf protocol for communication network
Learning .NET (C # and ASP) environment
Development in Visual Studio .NET 2005

June 2005 - Aug. 2005, ASP Developer (Internship), Dreamcentury Entertainment (Paris)

For my second year at Dreamcentury Entertainment, I was in charge of setting up during the 2005 summer, video games events in the form of competition involving as many players as possible.

This could be from simple Tombola, to a game of Bingo or even Tiercé (imagine a giant Tiercé where riders are players of the website, with bets and everything that goes with it: estimations, players quotations, etc.).

I designed and developped some of these games (Bingo and Tiercé), other existing yet (and processed for the occasion for the games events).

This work was carried out jointly with a graphic artist, designing models to be integrated in the games.

I also worked on the "classical" interventions that I had the opportunity to do a year ago: HTML integration, correction of components in production, safety management, and so on.

The balance was again very positive, the participation rate and the enthusiasm of the players were there.

FUNDAMENTAL POINTS:

Animation and development of online games events that have occurred during the summer of 2005
Design and development of interactive games in ASP/XHTML/Javascript/Transact-SQL
Security management
Setting the games in production
Results of competitions organized positive

June 2004 - Aug. 2004, ASP Developer (Internship), Dreamcentury Entertainment (Paris)

Dreamcentury Entertainment is a company publishing online games websites: play, earn points and convert them with gifts. They also offer a web platform for games, sold in white label and present in many known companies websites in France: Free, M6, and so on.

As an intern, I worked on the company websites, both in terms of design, development (games and websites), integration and testing. My role was therefore multiple, because at this moment the development team was formed mainly by interns in IT.

At the beginning of a project, once the design was completed, it was presented to the team leader and the corporate managers (we were in a small structure), before beginning the development.
When this last phase was completed, then we had to test it on a integration server before the production. This phase was delicate because if there were bugs in production, we had to step in quickly in order to not penalize players (bad points allocation, bugs in the games, etc.) or the company (games too simple, extra allocation too simple, etc. .).

I also participated in a mini project to manage saves in a Flash game. For this occasion, I improved the game server written in Java and controlling the process.

To conclude, it was a very enriching experience, our work was valued, visible and workable by thousands of players in the world, and the technical side very advanced (Trigger and high-level SQL Procedures, security management to prevent cheating, etc.).

FUNDAMENTAL POINTS:

Development of online games in ASP/XHTML/Javascript/Transact-SQL
Participation in the 3 phases: design, development, testing
Security management
HTML Integration
High level SQL Procedures and Triggers
Enhancement of the game server written in Java

Apr. 2003 - June 2003, Web Developer (Internship), CEA (Atomic Energy Commission) (Saclay)

Within the STDS section (Nuclear waste management) of the CEA of Saclay, this 12-week mission offered me the opportunity to work in an environment completely devoid of IT specialists, and to adapt to an environment totally unknown for me, namely nuclear energy.

Intern to set up the intranet (whose sole responsibility was entrusted to me) of the section, I first had to conduct interviews with the staff to determine the need and take notes of the ambit.
This phase led to the realization of a model that I had to validate with officials before setting up the application via the tool Publigen (Advantys). This tool is a professional CMS (used for example at that time by Renault and France Telecom for their intranet) completely modular which permit the development of professional applications without any line of code.
Finally, I've ended by a staff training on the Publigen tool.

This experience was the opportunity for me to discuss the pre-technical side of IT projects, with research and analysis of need phases. The integration under Publigen was also very interesting, and the fact to complete by training the engineers of the section allowed me to review my work.

FUNDAMENTAL POINTS:

Development of an intranet for the CEA (Nuclear) of Saclay
Discussion with the staff
Analysis of need
Establishing a model / prototype of the intranet for validation
Development with the intranet tool Publigen by Advantys
Staff training on the tool
Development of a tool in ASP / Access to manage documents
