Welcome to my professional page. This page is aimed at prospective clients, employers or colleagues. It contains an annotated resume.

I am a consultant and software architect in the field of enterprise systems where I help people harvest the benefits of new technologies, programming models and architectural principles. I'm an expert of REST architectures, SOA, Web Services, Application Servers, Java Enterprise Edition, RDMS and dynamic languages. I'm also an expert in object-oriented technologies including Smalltalk, object-oriented databases, distributed objects middlewares and Cocoa/Objective-C development. In 10 years of professional activity in these fields, I have given several talks and authored a number of publications.

I work at OCTO Technology, as a senior expert in the office of the CTO, where I provide guidance and assistance on various subjects including REST architectures, SOA and Java.

I am the creator of an innovative dynamic language named F-Script (http://www.fscript.org). F-Script is embedded in various commercial and open sources applications and is used in numerous fields including application development, scripting, debugging, biology, finance, games, astrophysics, music, etc. In recent years, I won two international awards for F-Script: the Apple Design Award for Best Mac OS X Developer Tool 2006 Runner-Up and an O'Reilly Mac OS X Innovator award in the 2003 O'Reilly Innovator Contest.

             

I'm an active member of the research community, where I publish, speak, and help organize conferences. I've been member of the program committee for DLS 2007, the dynamic languages symposium held at OOPSLA 2007. I have also served on the program committees for the International Conference on Dynamic Languages 2007 and for DLS 2005, the dynamic languages symposium held at OOPSLA 2005. I'm reviewer for the special dynamic languages edition of Computer Languages, Systems and Structures and I've been a member of the Dagstuhl Seminar on Latently-Typed Languages. I'm also a member of several professional associations, including the Association for Computing Machinery, the ACM Special Interest Group on Programming Languages (SIGPLAN), the ACM Special Interest Group on Array Programming Languages (SIGAPL), the European Smalltalk User Group (ESUG) and the Smalltalk Industry Council (STIC).
