Recently...
Since June 2011 : IBM Software Development Manager IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimizer • As their manager, I am serving the fully distributed team of 10+ sci-
entists and software engineers that produce IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimizer, the #1 mathematical programming solver for linear programming, mixed integer programming, and quadratic programming.
February 2006May 2011 : ILOG S.A., now IBM Principal Architect IBM ILOG Plant PowerOps • I exercised a broad in uence on the design of the product, with re-
sponsibilities ranging from the Business Object Model to several of the computation engines. • I designed and implemented a key feature of ILOG Plant Power Ops, that allows users to easily modify the current plan while taking as many constraints as possible into account to avoid breaking the solution. September 2004January 2006 : ILOG S.A. Independant Contributor Verticals Team • In just a few weeks, I took responsibility for the whole ILOG Fab
PowerOps scheduling engine. My contribution was decisive in the success of the rst FPO implementation at IBM's East Fishkill plant, leading to IBM marketing ILOG Fab PowerOps to its customers.
November 2003August 2004 : ILOG S.A. Project Manager - ILOG Project Scheduling • I designed an entire Microsoft Project add-on that allows the user to
specify the skills provided by the resources, and needed for the activities. The add-on both schedules and assigns resources to the tasks, while optimizing several performance indicators.

Previously...
• After graduating, I've worked for two years as a consulting software
engineer, mostly on optimization tools from ILOG. • I then joined ILOG, where for 18 months I was the technical manager for the consulting team working on optimization projects in France. • I eventually joined the ILOG Optimization R&D team, where I helped develop ILOG Scheduler. In the mean time...
• I promote Agile development techniques, Test Driven Development,
Refactoring, the use of the STL and Boost libraries, and any other tool or technique that can help. • I'm a member of the ACCU (Professionalism in Programming). • At one time or another, I used languages as diverse as Perl (to create make les), Emacs-Lisp (for automatic indentation of C programs while editing), Scheme (teaching it to students), 8086 asm (various DOS TSR programs), Ada, Pascal, Smalltalk, and others... When not working...
• I always have a technical book or article to read. • I try things to discover other technologies, like building a web-based
application with Python and Django (available on GitHub).
• I've been part of the development team of Mahogany, an Open-Source
multi-platform mailer program. I implemented a threading algorithm, various cryptography-related features, support for UU-encoded attachments, etc.
