About me
Principal Embedded Software Architect who turns complex requirements into scalable, reliable products. I partner with product teams to deliver the right solution at the right time and thrive in collaborative, agile teams. I specialize in solving software problems, defining pragmatic architectures, and leading execution while continuously learning and mentoring. Focus areas: Software Architecture, Technical Leadership, and real time embedded systems.
Experiences
Principal Embedded Software Architect
Qorvo - Paris - France

I am responsible for designing and architecting various parts of software running on UWB chips for consumer and industrial applications. More precisely, I design parts of the UWB stack compatible with various standards such as FiRa and IEEE 802.15.4z running on MCUs with Zephyr or FreeRTOS. I use requirements coming from customers and write specifications to guide the development teams before reviewing their implementation to ensure compliance with the design.
I also contribute to several parts of the software development process by deploying tooling such as development containers, static analysis and quality tooling.
Embedded Software Architect
Thales - Gennevilliers - France

I was responsible for designing, architecting, and developing a software waveform for avionics communication based on the SCA standard.
I oversaw the entire development process, from drafting the Software Design Documents based on the System Specifications to developing the software itself. Inspired by industry best practices, I improved development efficiency by implementing a continuous integration pipeline covering version control, delivery, and artifact storage. As a Scrum Master and Tech Lead, I guided and supported a team of nine software engineers.
Intrapreneur - TakeOff
Thales - Gennevilliers - France

I was one of the co-founders of TakeOff, an intrapreneurial startup that introduced new internal job opportunities, enabled peer networking, and empowered employees in pursuing their next career steps within Thales.
My role was twofold: on the technical side, I designed the solution architecture and APIs; on the business side, I co-led pitching, fundraising, subcontracting, and marketing efforts.
C++ Linux/Android Software Architect
ERCOM - Vélizy - France

I worked on the server side of a secure communication system called Cryptosmart.
I implemented the cross-SIP server communication mechanism and refactored significant portions of the software to improve product performance. I also contributed to drafting the Software Design Documents based on the existing codebase.
From an organizational perspective, I initiated the team’s transition to Agile methodologies.
Real-time Software Engineer
Société Générale - La Défense - France

I developed connectors for several stock markets, working under strict performance constraints.
My main tasks were to implement C++ programs and test them to ensure compliance with the specifications published by the markets. This experience highlighted the importance of delivering products that meet high-quality standards.
Embedded and Real-time Software Engineer
Thales Communication - Gennevilliers - France

I contributed to the European standardized waveform project (ESSOR).
My responsibilities included drafting software specifications and architecting a software radio protocol for the defense sector. The component-based design of this software required extensive real-time constraints and execution on embedded targets. This enriching experience also allowed me to collaborate with peers from diverse cultures and travel across several countries.
Embedded and Real-time Software Engineer
Thales Communication - Gennevilliers - France

I was part of an R&D team responsible for developing a component-based framework called MyCCM.
My role was to evaluate and improve the framework for use in software radio products running on real-time operating systems (VxWorks, Linux variants).
Embedded and Real-time Software Intern
NXP - Eindhoven - Netherlands
