About Nadir

IT projects that go off the rails are rarely due to a lack of technical skills. They're often readability problems: no one really knows the project's status, what's blocking progress, or what's going to fail in three weeks.
For fifteen years, I've learned to make complex projects readable for my superiors, for the teams, and for the business units. Not by oversimplifying, but by choosing the right indicators, building the right tools, and asking the right questions at the right time.
What I enjoy about this profession is precisely that: taking a complex environment with service providers, infrastructure constraints, technical debt, and regulatory requirements, and making it manageable. And when the necessary tool doesn't exist, I build it.
My technical playground: In-depth Angular and React, generative AI applied where it produces a concrete effect — automatic test generation, legacy code analysis.

    Senior IT Project Manager – Application Modernization & AI Integration
    PUBLIC SECTOR
    September 2019 - Today (6 years and 11 months)
    Hôtel de Ville, Paris, France
    Several projects in parallel, teams of up to 35 people, with strong regulatory constraints and significant technical debt. My role: to keep it all manageable and ensure decisions are made based on facts rather than impressions.

    Concretely, this looks like this: I build the missing indicators, I challenge supplier quotes, I am the single point of contact between project management, the business, and the technical teams. And when a provider drifts, I show it with numbers before it becomes a problem for management.

    On application modernization, I manage end-to-end: scoping, reference environments for the teams, automated testing tools. I also built a custom mapping tool to assess complexity and break down work into coherent batches.

    I also designed and deployed a tool for automatic generation of test cases from legacy AngularJS code, on Azure OpenAI. It extracts business rules directly from the source code and covers screen combinations — an approach that convinced both the technical teams and management.

    Critical projects always come with a list of technical issues that belong to no one: infrastructure migrations, security audits, certificate renewals, network traffic openings. I take charge of them, coordinate the specialized teams, and ensure they progress at the right pace without weighing down the project.

    Member of a team responsible for the full cycle (design → development → CI/CD → publication) of internal web and mobile applications for the BdF, with reinforcements on cross-functional projects.
    Mobile and web applications.

    Development and publication of the official institutional BdF application (App Store / Play Store).

    Development and maintenance of the cross-project Angular component library for all BdF projects: navigation, forms, modals, drag & drop, about a hundred components in total. In-depth work on component flexibility and configurability, and monitoring of Angular version upgrades over the years — a recurring constraint that gave me a deep understanding of breaking changes and migration strategies.
