PPE les Eglantiers : As a Technical Delegate, I am co-responsible for our building's maintenance, as well as informing the owners of any ongoing work, and managing the owners' problems and requests. I am also the interface to the administrator who manages the finances.
Creating complex circuit with analog and digital signals.
Picodrill SA : Design and update of the controller board (using a PIC microcontroller) for the research machines. Analog acquisition, digital signal outputs, I2C and SPI interfaces.
Luciol Instruments : Design of the main board for a complete embedded platform to support the various optical fiber test and measurement modules. Platform based on an ETX (x86) board from Kontron.
EPFL : Design of an electronic card for video surveillance based on a DSP and video coprocessor. Analog inputs separation, fast memory and FPGA circuit.
Creating attractive web pages, or web apps.
@Home : Creation of a personal webpage for our wedding, based on the drupal framework. First hosted on Drupal Gardens, and then moved to a private server @Home.
Creation of this webpage based on a Bootstrap framework template. Use of HTML5, CSS3, javascript and php.
Creating complex applications with hardware interactions and dedicated firmwares.
Picodrill SA : Design and update of the controller firmware (using MPLAB IDE), as well as the controller application (using Visual studio (VB)) for the research machines. Precise timing control, data acquisition and display, multiple configuration and versatility, various hardware control (XY(Z) stage, power supplies, human controller inputs).
Luciol Instruments : Design of various controller firmware for the company products (OTDR, PMD). Design of a battery monitor application for the L-200 platform.
EPFL : Design of development tools for the CAN bus for industrial application (Stock management). Windows GUI and adapter firmware (USB-CAN). Design of a data management application for test result analysis (Matlab).
@Home : Creation of a cellar management application (Java) for wine and spirit bottles.
Managing a small company network and server.
Luciol Instruments : Maintenance of the computer network of the company. Technical support to the users. Setup of a central file and print server with backup, as well as VPN, FTP and MSSQL services.
Eneftech : Setup of a central file and web server (Apache) with SSL and webDAV for calendar sharing.
@Home : Maintenance of a Home server based on a QNAP NAS. Web server with SSL for this page and our wedding page. Replication using Rsync on an external windows computer.
Creating simple design for 3D mechanical elements.
Picodrill SA : Concept drawing for a mobile drilling system prototype. Design and ordering of mechanical elements for a complete industrial drilling system prototype. Manufacturing and assembly of prototype systems.
Luciol Instruments : Updating and managing production of the complete plastic chassis for the LOR OTDR embedded system.
@Home : 3D drawing of our future flat, for wall and furniture placements, kitchen design and tile selection.

See what I have done
Full implementation of our flat into 3D space (20MB). Enabling an easier selection of materials and element position. Creation of simple mechanical elements.
Design of simple and complex electronic systems, integrating digital processors, power elements and analogue acquisition. Such as this LED Driver (Work in progress) designed under Eagle CAD.
Creation of application with rich user interfaces for data management or hardware control. For example take a look at this Cellar Management application (Work in progress), where the user can manage his private cellar.
Designing complete stand alone or embedded systems. For example this picture frame based on a Raspberry Pi A+ loaded with Kodi, a WIFI dongle and an old screen.
