About Vincent

Congratulations! You have found the ideal profile to move from your idea to your prototype!

- More than 15 years of experience in embedded software development and electronic design,
- Head of prototyping in a Lille-based Startup for the last three years,
- Self-taught in mechanical design (numerous achievements),
- Active member of TechShop Lille since its opening: I am trained and have access to a multitude of industrial machines: metal/plastic/wood milling, metal turning, waterjet cutting, laser cutting, plasma cutting, UV printing, thermoforming, 3D printing, etc.

Passionate about entrepreneurship, my leitmotif has always been to be able to bring my ideas to life, and I have always given myself the means, at least, to prototype them.
I notably exhibited at the MakerFaire in Lille in 2018 for my LowTech Family-Flag.com project.

I have been designing and programming complex microcontroller-based electronic boards since 2002.
With these years of experience, I have worked on a multitude of technologies (Bluetooth, Zig Bee, GPS, PLC, RFID etc.) and have in-depth knowledge of numerous communication protocols.
I have a fully equipped professional electronics laboratory at my home.

My activities in Fablab and Techshop led me in 2016 to take charge of the complete prototyping of projects for the Lille-based Startup Citymagine:
- Design of electronic boards,
- Development of embedded software,
- Design and production of mechanical components for the devices.
This mission being completed, I decided to regain my independence in early January 2020.

In summary, I can:
- Take charge of your electronic design,
- Develop your embedded software,
- Design and produce the mechanical part of your project.
In short: realize your prototypes.

I am waiting for you to carry out my first mission on MALT!

Experience

  • Citymagine, Euratechnologie
    Head of prototyping
    TECH
    September 2016 - January 2020 (3 years and 4 months)
    Lille, France
    Design and realization of electronic and mechanical components for indoor and outdoor 360° image acquisition devices.

    Citymagine offers a solution that provides road stakeholders with knowledge of their assets and their condition.
    The road network is filmed by the acquisition device mounted on a vehicle. The road assets (vertical signage and road markings) and their condition are automatically inventoried by AI and then offered to the end-user via a mapping platform.

    The market targeted by the company was not yet determined at its beginning, which explains the variety of projects I have undertaken:
    - Indoor image acquisition device for automatic 3D reconstruction of parts (electronics, firmware, and mechanics).
    - Device for scanning a part in 360° in infrared to detect thermal leaks (electronics, firmware, and mechanics).
    - Acquisition device for road assets on roof racks (electronics, firmware, and mechanics).
    - Adaptation of the latter for shooting on barges (electronics and mechanics) using suction cups.

    In 2019, I designed and built a series of five acquisition structures with the following specifications:
    - Quick and secure attachment, adaptable to any roof rack model
    - Removable camera and GPS
    - Foldable mast
    - Structure quickly disassemblable into three parts for transport
    - Weather-resistant structure
    Some photos of this last project are in my portfolio.

    59930 La Chapelle-d'Armentières, France
    - Design and development of an autonomous device for automating public lighting control in cities worldwide, using universal time and GPS position.
    - Design, development, prototyping of a connected object.

    Firmware Manager
    TECH
    May 2010 - December 2014 (4 years and 8 months)
    Versailles, France
    As Firmware Manager, I solely developed all the embedded software for the Citenergy platform.

    Citenergy is a set of devices communicating via PLC (radio for some) that allows remote management of public lighting at the luminaire level: switching on, switching off, dimming, scenario setting, full characterization, fault detection, etc. Beyond public lighting, Citenergy intelligently distributes energy on networks and creates a city-wide communication network without modifying the existing infrastructure.
