Transfer from ITO/TAI to SDE/EXC (Software Development Experience / Delivery Excellence) to manage the “DevOps” support of KLx projects (Lisbonne near-shoring).

• Introduce Jenkins “Quality Gates”
• Add Git hooks to enforce source control management best practices (around branch workflow, message linked to Jira tickets, checklist)
• Introduce Vault, and manage password encryption in configuration files

Manage the continuous deployment platform "DEEP" of CACEIS

It 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.

Amundi Asset Management, transverse team in charge of release management.

I study the release management process around maven to propose improvements.

I manage the development platform tools composed of:

• Git (using GitLab)
• Jenkins
• Nexus Pro and Nexus IQ
  replaced by:
• Artifactory and Xray
• SonarQube
• Nudge, an APM

I also take care of the on boarding of new developer by automating the installation of their tools.

Finally, I participate to the study of containerization of the development platform, that is using Docker for GitLab, Nexus, Jenkins and Sonar. The context is the integration of Pioneer.

Same client (HSBC GBM - Global Banking Market), different transverse team: Core Services for Equity Derivatives.

I am still acting as the French correspondent of an English team, and I am putting in place the continuous integration platform for all Equity Derivatives. It involves Jenkins and Nexus (to publish the deliveries built by Jenkins jobs), both for Java and C++ projects.

In addition, I study the containerization of the Git repos hosting server defined in the last mission. I define images and run containers in order to test and deploy a Git server.

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)

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.

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)

I managed versioning tools (ClearCase and SVN) for the GEDS: Global Equities Derivative Solution department of the ITEC (IT support) team in SGCIB (Investment Banking) of Société Générale.
Compared to my previous experience, this was a transversal role for all GEDS teams, not just the IDEA program.

I validated and regularly tested the DRP (Disastry Recovery Plan) for ClearCase.

I also supported the Java development environment, helping with Eclipse settings and plugins environments.
I validated on that IDE various static code analysis tools settings, like Findbugs, PMD and Checkstyle.

I helped define the development environment for a large refactoring project called "IDEA" (middle & bac-office IS for derivative product), within the ITEC (IT support) department of GEDS: Global Equities Derivative Solution department of the ITEC (IT support) team in SGCIB (Investment Banking) of [Société Générale].

I introduced Eclipse, and installed Rational ClearCase, rapidly moving from base ClearCase to UCM (Unified Change Management).

I developed a Java library for wrapping all cleartool (ClearCase API) calls and helping make complex scripts for ClearCase.

I was studying the communication bus based on MQ Series, developped in C++.
I made several evolutions, as well as a Java interface based on JNI.

I was in the Investment Banking department of BNP

I introduced UML through Rational Rose, and developed in C++ a data translation engine between market products data and internal BNP format.

I also introduced Java, and used for the internal format XML, based on the Xalan parser.

Part of the development team of SICF, a cartography-based application for military deployment on the field, described in this article "Armies Pursue the Digital Dream", at the "France" section.
SICF ("Systemes d'Information pour le Commandement des Forces" or "Information System for Force Command") was realized by Thomson CSF.

I discovered the importance of minimizing the inter-dependencies and the use of modelization (first version of Rational Rose) on such a large project.

Officer (Aspirant, then Second Lieutenant) in charge of the Computer Cell in the logistic section of the 3rd Corp HQ at Lille.

I realized with a team of 3 to 5 people an road trip panning software for editing time sheet with start, stops and arrival times.
I tested and deployed that application during two short trips in Kiseljak in the Allied Command Europe Rapid Reaction Corps (ARRC) HQ of IFOR.
