2017 - maintenant
Following a divestiture from Intel Corporation, the activity is very low. Only some proofs of concept are implemented within the organisations and some analysis of the existing infrastructure is done.

Intel Corporation
- Software Architect
Meudon
2012 - 2017
Intel - MCG (Mobile Communication Group), CCG (Client Computing Group) and NDG (New Devices Group)
System requirements definition, architecture and design for manufacturing, booting, reseting, flashing, debugging Android and Zephyr based platforms (~15 different SoC - smartphones, tablets, PCs and wearables). Coordination with Windows' counterparts.
NDG
• Completion of the System use cases provided by the system architecture team (basically use cases outside the device-phone-cloud interactions were missed)
• Definition of the use cases related to the single device and definition of their corresponding functional requirements, performance indicators and design constraints
• Architecture and design for the following domains: Boot, Shutdown, Reset, Flashing, Debug infrastructure and Manufacturing
• Schematics review for the above domains
• SoC and peripherals specification review to optionally claim for hardware or ROM code updates
• Assist the execution team in estimating workload and planning
• Code review
MCG/CCG
• Definition of use cases, functional requirements, performance indicators and design constraints related to Power Up, Power Down, Reset, Flashing, Debug and Tracing.
• Architecture and design of the above domains
• Involved in cross-OS converged architecture (requiring synchronisation with other organisations regarding UEFI).
• Proposed several enhancements to the UEFI, ACPI and Android specifications.
• Development of a document generator in order to guarantee the satisfaction of requirements at an architectural level (fetching data and UML artifacts from the requirements tracking tool and from the UML modelling tool).
• Assist execution team in splitting the workload in order to facilitate the execution.
• Advise Integration and Validation teams how to test the features
• Use case integration
• Boot time optimisation (flash device configuration, CPU frequency switch, image hardware verification, kernel initcall parallelism).
• Worked with people located in Finland, USA, Germany, China, Israel, Ireland, Switzerland, India, and Canada. Regular business trips to the USA, Finland and Germany.

BOULOGNE-BILLANCOURT
2005 - 2010
Duration: 62 months
Industry and defence related projects with SAGEM Defence and Security, THALES Communications and Sagem Communications (C, C++, C#, Java, ILOG Views, Javascript, UML, Windows, Linux, Solaris, ClearCase, pvcs, cvs, svn, embedded software, linux device drivers)
SagemCom (Set Top Box drivers and middleware)
• OS20/OS21, Linux kernel and existing drivers reverse engineering and design documentation
• Design to maximize cross-OS code sharing
• Design and roadmap of the adaptations / scalability to anticipate the new features
• Development of the linux-based proprietary filesystem, ethernet NIC and switch drivers
• Development of the security-related HDD pairing algorithms (enrollment) for diverse SATA removable hard disk drives (Western Digital, Hitachi, Seagate)
• Implementation of the movie encryption

Thalès Communications (Warfare and radio jamming)
• Challenged the software architecture mixing the digitial map functionalities with the electronic warfare logic. This led to refactoring the initial solution and adopt a cleaner approach.
• Responsible for scheduling for a period of about 18 months.
• Development of a C++ ActiveX from an existing Ilog Views application to provide digital maps capabilities.
• Resolve debug and runtime CRT conflicts.
• Porting from Microsoft Visual C++ 6 to versions 7 then 8.
