August 1998 to August 2002 Senior Engineer, SUN MICROSYSTEMS FRANCE Member of the core team in charge of the development of ChorusOS 4.0, then of ChorusOS 5.0. Port of freeBSD 4.0 on top of the Chorus microkernel: core operating system (file systems, network, ...) development of the Chorus swap mechanism development of the Chorus reboot mechanism modularization of freeBSD introduction of multithreading in freeBSD POSIX interface, libraries, system administration commands documentation
May 1996 to August 1998 Senior Consultant for Hewlett-Packard Founder and unique employee of the Tech'OR company. Exclusive contract with HP-France within the framework of the ESPRIT European project SOOM. Reporting to the Operating System Software Development group (OSSD) of HP US (Florham Park, NJ). Detached with SUN/Chorus (France). The SOOM project is the continuation of the OUVERTURE project (see July 1992 to April 1996). My work consists in: contribution and implementation of the OMG-IDL C Mapping, from the front-end of the Chorus IDL compiler, then from the front-end of the public-domain SUN IDL compiler. participation to the specification for a componentized version of HP-UX based on IDL. Editor of the Minimum CORBA initial submission to OMG (November 1997) in collaboration with Alcatel, Lucent, and SUN/Chorus, then presentation of the submission to OMG (December 1997). This submission specifies a CORBA architecture for embedded systems. Participation to the Realtime CORBA initial submission to OMG (January 1998) in collaboration with in particular Alcatel, France-Telecom, Lucent, Motorola, SUN/Chorus, and Tri-Pacific.
July 1992 to April 1996 Senior Software Engineer, NOVELL FRANCE Member of the `Operating System Development' group of NOVELL US (Florham Park, NJ) and detached with Chorus Systèmes (France). Within the framework of the ESPRIT III European project OUVERTURE, contribution to the specification and implementation of COOL-LD, an object-oriented system layer supporting the distributed implementation of operating systems on top of the Chorus micro-kernel. My work consisted in: specification of requirements for building object-based distributed system applications, in particular with respect to the communication layer definition of the conceptual model for building these applications specification of the OMG-IDL C++ mapping corresponding to this model implementation and documentation of the C++ code generation corresponding to this mapping (from the root of the Chorus IDL compiler) implementation of the run-time environment for remote object invocation based on OMGORB specifications prototyping of a distributed UNIX on top of this layer: definition of interfaces between the different modules of the UNIX SVR4.0 version supplied by Chorus specification of the OMG-IDL C and C++ mappings and of the run-time environment for Tuxedo (ATMI) and IP communication protocols The OUVERTURE project was terminated on 09/30/95.
January 1989 to June 1992 Senior Software Engineer, XEROX FRANCE Detached with the University of Paris-VI (joined team between the University and Xerox). Within the framework of the ESPRIT Parallel Computing Action, co-directed a project entitled: Development of an Environment for Specification and Execution of Active Objects on Parallel Machines. This action was initiated by the European Community to provide research centers with parallel machines and to develop software for parallel machine architectures. Our group (3 senior engineers and 4 PhD students) acquired a T-Node machine (16 transputers) running the Helios Operating System. My work consisted in: management of two Phd students working on: an object-oriented and distributed layer on top of Helios, an Unix-like OS dedicated to parallel machines. a concurrent extension to C++ to deal with this layer interfacing Actalk (Smalltalk active objects) with this extended C++ port of different softwares on Helios (the port of C++ AT&T-cfront is shipped by the french company Telmat) administration: bureaucratic (interface between Xerox and the university) and system admnistration for the team

My work consisted in: management of students working on stub generation, naming service, object migration, communication service, debug implementation of the development chain for the project based on an extension to the C++ AT&T-cfront compiler system administration for the group
January 1986 to April 1986 Free-lance contract, ACT-Informatique (Paris) Member of a group of 5 engineers. Development of a software package (spreadsheet, project management, \dots) aiming at training `end-users'. Order of the french publishing house Hatier
