Director of Technology at Wolters Kluwer and lecturer in Computer Science at the University of Geneva. I work as lead architect and team leader in the banking industry. In these positions, I always try to include good software design and testability as a first class citizen. Over the last 18 years, I had the opportunity to participate to many projects and activities in computer sciences:

  • as an engineer and teams leader, to build and to maintain innovative software products
  • as a teacher, to communicate my passion for computer sciences, and
  • as a researcher, to work on new ideas and methods to improve software quality.

I am interested in software Validation & Verification. More specifically, I am interested on how to apply model checking and on how increase the test effectiveness in industrial settings. Furthermore, as a JEE practitioner and teacher, I am always eager to collaborate in new industrial projects.
