About Me

Person

I'm the head of Software development at Profoto (previously StyleShoots), world leader in the flash industry and major player in the fashion E-com business. I'm project manager for the Automation solutions for the E-com industry, extending our robotic solution for studio photography and video.

I was a researcher and software engineer at StyleShoots from March 2016 until May 2022. I've created the video composition pipeline used in our fully integrated studio. I've also develop the RAW processing pipeline, with the color style we apply. I've created the StyleShoots Cloud plateform, with fully integrated and customized tools on the IBM Cloud, Google Cloud plateform, using the Swift language. The technology stack includes Postgres, Docker, Graphana, Prometheus, and many other tools.

In addition to my main work, I've made multiple proof of concept using advanced machine learning, like deep learning, and other more "tradition" learning, like K-Means and SVM.

Before that, I was working for Ncam Technologies, on camera tracking and augmented reality in the Broadcast and film industries.

I received a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the Université Lyon 1, France, in 2013. I also received a Master degree from the Université Lyon 1, in 2008.
