About Simon

Back-end developer for 14 years, I started by honing my skills at Capgemini where I acquired a sense of commitment. I had the opportunity to take responsibility for a project and a team, then to return to what I prefer and therefore what I do best: Analyze, model, and code!

I have now been working on agile projects (Scrum) for 6 years.

For the last 3 years, I co-founded Whoz.com. 3 years of starting the Whoz product forced me to rationalize / make my technical choices and developments profitable.

    HUMAN RESOURCES
    August 2016 - December 2019 (3 years and 5 months)
    Annecy, France
    I participate in the development of the whoz.com application. We used the Spring Cloud stack for the REST API. After dockerizing the services, we set up a CI with automatic deployment to an integration environment. The front-end team uses Angular.

    We have been working with agile methodology for many years, particularly SCRUM.

    The development environment consists of Atlassian tools (BitBucket, Bamboo, Jira, Confluence) for continuous deployment using GitFlow.

    The position is 100% remote from Annecy with occasional travel to Paris.

    I launched the first back-end developments of whoz.com in the first year and since then I have alternated between missions for our clients and development sprints on our product.
