Welcome

The content of this personal web site is twofold. A fist link gives an overview of my current scientific and technical work in Grenoble Research labs. The second one is a descriptive list of the web sites I currently maintain and the ones that I wrote once in the past.

Working in Grenoble

I used to be a Parisian for 24 years but several circumstances pushed me out of Paris during the last years of my studies : Training periods in London, in Marseille and in Grenoble. Finally, I became attracted by Grenoble city in the south west of France and I began to work there. Reasons are the sunny weather, the beautiful montains, the skiing resorts, and a lake well known by most windsurfers in Europe. The fact that Grenoble is an important research center in Computer Science and IT systems made the move reasonable.

I came to work for R&D software engineering projects in the industry. France Telecom, Schneider Electric and Grenoble University proposed a stable and attractive research ecosystem. I worked as a developer, an architect, a PhD student, a standards engineer in internal, national, international projects before embracing the management of a wide set of R&D projects in the Machine-To-Machine research domain.

Hobbies

My hobbies include windsurfing, snowboarding, travelling abroad, designing simple web sites. Windsurf is a hobby shared by many Grenoble citizens thanks to the great Monteynard lake. It takes only a little more than 30 minutes to taste the regular winds of this relatively famous lake in Europe. Windsurf is for the big part of the year, snowboard is for the winter. The ski resorts are also very close to the place I live in. Travelling around the world is the subject of the main web site I maintain. Since a short stay in Tunisia in 2001, I add some pages (almost) every time I come back from a trip abroad. I write some web sites like others may write blogs. I like the idea of having a personal home on the World Wide Web.
