Language • French (mother tongue) • English (fluent; I reside in the USA since Jan. 2006) • German (High School level 2nd language studies)

Skills • OS: Linux, BSD and Solaris UNIX Systems, and Windows (3.1, 9x, NT, 2k, XP, Vista), DOS • Core Strength: C, C++, JAVA, J2EE and scripting languages (Perl, Shell script) • Other Languages / Technologies: GXP, Dot Net, HTML, Flash, Php, Java script, Visual Basic, VB Script, MFC Windows, SQL, Oracle Forms and OpenGL, RPC Protocol buffers, Perforce, SVN, CVS, J2ME, Assembler (68000 Motorola and sun), Zope, Plone, Lex, Bison and Tiger • Software: Emacs, VI, Visual Studio, Eclipse, MSOffice, 3Dsmax, Photoshop, Dreamwaver, Flash, Illustrator and InDesign Professional Experience Dash Navigation Java / JSF / Hibernate / Spring June, 2008 – Oct 2008 Sunnyvale, CA – Employment Brought improvements to the device management site and found a solution to update problems by developing a system that allows dependency between device updates across platforms and architectures. “During the time that Francois worked for me, he consistently showed his ability to pick things up fast. He required little supervision from me and was able to be productive in a short time. He also showed initiative in solving a technical problem that had been unresolved for some time. I strongly recommend Francois and would hire him again given the opportunity.” Senthil Supramaniam (Manager) “Francois has excellent teamwork skills and a passion for improving whatever he works on.” J.Labarge • I gave dash's different internal web sites specific looks that differentiate them at first sight. • I also modified one of the functionalities of the site that is made to send messages to the GPS so that the input form and result display (both when you type the message and when you list the messages on the site) reflect what the user would actually see on his GPS. • I automated and reimplemented certain repetitive or not optimized processes. Azureus / Vuze C / Perl / Vbs / Java / SWT / Flash Oct, 2006 – May 2008 Palo Alto, CA – Employment Made a BitTorrent client that runs on a router and, as a personal side project, brought a solution to compatibility issues by developing the automation scripts for content ingestion, RSS Delivery, preview generation, screen shots capturing and video transcoding for the Vuze Open Platform. “I have constantly been impressed by his very flexible engineering skills." Olivier Chalouhi (Founder and CTO) "He showed himself to be a very self-motivated and capable developer, overcoming many issues" Paul

Gardner (Chief Architect)

"Francois consistently delivered above and beyond expectations in a timely manner. He has a fantastic personality and is a joy to collaborate with." Trevor Pressman (Product Manager) "Francois is one of the most well-rounded engineers I've met." Deniz Westphal (Product Manager) • The script basically generates six screen shots, a 30 sec. flash preview and a transcoded version of any content we receive to an MKV containing a h264 video track and an OggVorbis audio track. Standardizing all the incoming videos to a single format is very exiting and challenging when you know how many formats and codecs are out there!

• Developed a Java application which is used internally by the content ingestion team to pick the best screen shots of a premium video before it gets published. This tool boosted their production by more than 500% (on that particular task) • Developed all the automation scripts for the featured content either received via physical hard drives or RSS feeds • Developed an embedded BitTorrent P2P client for very limited CPU and memory devices. This task involved research around the best approach, cross-compiling of low level C code, code optimizations and interaction with their hardware partner to have the product fit their needs.

• An other project I did in my free time was developing the flash preview player Google C++ / Java / J2EE / Python / Perforce / RPC
