About Patrick

Looking for an industrial-grade C++, C, C# developer?
You found him. But I can do much more:
  • Your challenge is this critical component, key to your innovative project.
  • I will make it work!
Why me rather than another?

I am a C, C++, C#, Qt, Git, Linux developer (among others) with over 30 years of experience in complex projects. And a freelancer since 2008.

I have worked in various sectors: industry, embedded, logistics, AI, energy...

I have collaborated with prestigious clients: Bystronic, Stormshield, Pellenc ST, Actia Energy, Amadeus, CNED...

==> For each of them, I did much more than just software:

- For PrologIA, I brought to life on PC (from Windows 3 to NT and 95) the Marseille-Luminy Prolog and its entire graphical environment: all Windows widgets programmable in Prolog.
A huge hack in C and assembler, without technical support or the Internet.

- For B+ Technologies, I created innovative solutions to make industrial sorting sessions reliable and manage fleets of operators (radio-controlled order preparation).
I also transformed sorters, and their SCADA, in France and England.

- For Actia Telecom, I created the firmware for the central unit of an electrical protection system from scratch, which opened new markets and launched Actia Energy.
Embedded software with very strong constraints: footprint, performance, reliability...

- For Bystronic, I wrote the new multi-criteria planning solver for sorting sessions using AI methods, now integrated into its flagship CAD/CAM software.
AI in C#? Yes, it's possible...

- For Orsay Physics, I developed a real-time stepper motor control module with nm-level trajectory optimization... What a shame I can't show anything!

==> And you, what exciting challenge will you entrust me with?

No matter the language or technology, I adapt. Let's see what beautiful things we can do!

    - Various insulation and carpentry work.
