Hi, I'm Arthur. 👋
Well, I don't have a lot to say about me. I'm a French guy living in Montreal (Canada.. I have to be precise because apparently some people don't really know where Montréal is on a map. Click here for more detail)
I'm originaly from Paris ✈, well the purists will say BooooooOOooO.. Because if I tell you where I'm really from you will be like.. 😕 (next to Disneyland Resort Paris 🐁 and yes it's a mouse like Mickey)
I'm a web developer, frontend/backend ; I really don't know yet where is my destiny is because I like both but maybe my heart tends to go towards the frontend a little more. I currently work at Distech Controls for at least 4 years now. (Long time huh..). They specialize in building automation, so none of my work is visible except for the tech guy who is installing product in the ceiling.
I work on polymer most of the time for the frontend, and the backend is more with basic Java servlet.
In my free time, and when in a coding mood, I like to try new stuff, discover new languages, new framework, create stuff that may be useless or useful. Here is my GITHUB repo.
I'm also a big soccer fan! France is my national team (my heart remains there 🇫🇷) and RCLens is my heart team, but otherwise I like Juventus, Chelsea and PSG.
Well it's a pretty nice resumé.
Thanks for reading ! Peace ✌
Distech Controls - February 2014 -> Now
Distech controls is a building automation company, recently bought by the american group Acuity Brands (Lighting company). A brief description of my tasks :
Developpement, maintenance, improvement and evolution of an embedded web solution frontend/backend, hosted on a jetty server, inside a controller running with the Android operating system.
Full creation and in constant evolution of a RESTful API optimised. (JAVA, JAVA Servlet, Jetty).
Creation of a progressiv web application, including the evaluation and the choices of the technologies and architechture that allow a better development, maintenance and enboarding of new developer. (Javascript, html5, css3, Polymer, Web Components) Then Polymer stayed the major "Framework" used inside the company for the other project.
Creation of the Rest API documentation web site. (ASP.net, html5, css3, Bootstrap).
Use the Agile development methodology to meet product development and testing schedules.
ESIGETEL
I graduated from ESIGETEL where I did most of my "high end" scholarship. ESIGETEL is a french engineering school, located in Paris. My training there was more oriented to cloud programming. So briefly, it was coding, front-end/back-end with the emerging cloud technologies.
Stafforshire University
I did an exchange during my first year of engineering (2011) at Stafforshire University. This University campus is located in Stoke-on-Trent, a little city between Manchester and Birmingham in England.
It was a pretty nice experience, a little short though (4 months). Actually, it was my first experience abroad (for school). Mostly scientific courses though, but still fun to interact with new people and discover new culture.
NO REGRETS ! 👌
ÉTS
During my second year of engineering school, I found that our school had a partnership with the ÉTS, which is located in Montréal, CANADA.
O**, so excited, I totally had to go there and I did. So I spent 6 months at ETS, where I learned a lot ! All the courses I took were mostly software development oriented. And I think it's the place where I learned the most about coding, during my scholarship. (well The Internet was mostly the best place to learn !)
It was a tough six months though, because to get enough credits to match the requirements in France I had to take a few more courses than the regular students. Anyway still fun, and look... I'm still in Montréal.
NO REGRETS ! 👌
Sports
Soccer is my first love in sport. I'm totally a soccer fan. I've played soccer since I was 6. Totally behind the french National soccer team. Otherwise during the year I support these four soccer clubs.
I'm really a sports fan. I'm a very active person, and I can't go without doing something. So if I'm not playing soccer I will go running, hiking, kayaking, snowboarding.. All the sports I can do. 😊
Coding
Coding is something else that I like to do during my time off. There is a lot to discover on the Internet, like for the frontend part we can't count how many framework and libraries exist (but it's for the best, or the worst..). That's why I like to try new stuff to see what we can do with it, helping the community. Currently I'm more focused on Web Components. I use Polymer most of the time, I've tried React briefly. You can find my available components here. But sometimes, even if I like coding, you know when you did it all day at work, you just want to go home and chill.. so it depends on the mood.
Travelling
I like travelling. The world has so many things to offer and to submerge you in visual pleasure. I mostly traveled in Europe and a little in North America. But I still have a lot to see.. it never ends ... ✈✈✈
