As a versatile technician, my main tasks were to carry out various maintenance work on the machines in the workshop. I also participated in the fabrication of various parts by operating and programming said machines (GCode CNC). I was notably in charge of a section dedicated to polishing and shaping ball joints and femoral heads, replacing an employee.

For about 3 years, I offered my expertise in C/C++ development of desktop applications (Windows/Linux) and drivers (Linux only, POSIX-Compliant) to individuals. Most of my assignments involved developing more or less complex software to assist clients in their daily/professional lives. However, I had the opportunity on several occasions to develop custom Linux drivers for clients actively developing a new product intended for future sale. I also had the chance to work in a team through subcontracting on the most ambitious projects.

For about 3 years, I offered my services as an embedded systems developer on a freelance basis, working exclusively for individuals. Most of my assignments involved developing custom solutions on MCUs (mainly STM32/Arduino/RPI) in bare-metal or based on an RTOS (mainly FreeRTOS/Zephyr). The assignments were very varied, giving me the opportunity to develop drastically different systems for each client, ranging from home automation systems for individuals to assisting in the development of a future product for sale. I also had the opportunity to work in a team through subcontracting on the most ambitious projects.
