About Me

At the beginning of my career, I actively worked in the development of Lutece CMS Core for the City of Paris and other stakeholders. I also worked as a Java/JEE developer on web applications for French Public Sector.
With 10 years of Adobe Experience Manager experience, I design scalable architectures for corporate and e-commerce websites mainly for big luxury brands and other retailers. I am seen as an SME on AEM Assets-based DAM architectures.
As an Adobe Expertise Director, I support the New Business team on presales with proposal architectures, demos, and Proof of Concepts. I respond to RFPs for the technical part and establish the estimate. I defend our vision to clients during pitches.
Agile Software Development with SCRUM methodology, version control systems, Java, and DevOps tools have no secrets to me.
I have excellent technical, analytical, logical, and communication skills.
