Former Associate Professor in Paris and Copenhagen, now Principal Software Developer at Siteimprove.

I am currently working on websites accessibility. On one side, I write Accessibility testing rules as part of the ACT rules W3C community. On the other side, I implement these rules in Alfa, Siteimprove’s open source Accessibility Checker.

My education and employment in Academia gave me a deep analytic mind, the ability to quickly learn a new subject and grasp its basis, and the possibility to understand it in depth. As a teacher with constant good evaluations by the students, I've developed excellent communication skills.

As an engineer I'm focusing on writing clean and efficient code in a scalable and testable way, to ensure fast delivery of high quality code.

I am thus a competent engineer capable of quickly adapting to new technologies or domain knowledge, and to correctly analyse problems and solve them. As a former university teacher and researcher, I also have very good communication skills, making me a perfect team player capable to listen to my co-workers, understand their opinions and help reaching a consensus within the team.
