Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

With 21 years of expertise in business application and API management, I am seeking API Designer-Manager / API Product Owner roles.

As a manager of an API/Services/Flow product team organized in AGILE (SCRUM), we have evolved in various company projects to implement APIs to simplify/standardize solution integration within HomeServe's different BUs, proxy external services, and create synchronous and asynchronous flows (File manipulation, API calls, event-driven).

My knowledge in business application management (CRM, customer data, user requests) allows me to deeply understand end-user needs, express them in specifications, and provide business expertise to developers.

I have been an evangelist for the proper use of APIs and a guarantor of good development practices (RESTFUL, camelCase, as generic as possible, supporting as few RDs as possible).

I have participated in numerous innovative projects: chatBox, connected button, website and customer area redesign, API implementation, API integration into partner purchase funnels, MDM).
