Porting PPC to ARM and keeping both compatible
The customer was moving from single core PPC based to multi-core ARM based platform while
keeping both strictly identical as far as the end-customer was concerned. A lot of EOL components
were being replaced too.
I spent a lot of time working specifically on the cryptographic stack, from application interface to
device driver.
Skills: C, VxWorks, PPC/ARM assembly, SMP, multi-tasking, device drivers, C++, cryptography

Porting linux device drivers to newer ARM chip
The customer was updating its hardware to a new ARM chip and needed porting and development
of corresponding Linux device drivers.
I also developed a software + hardware solution to validate a hardware design (python and
electronics)
Skills: C, VxWorks, ARM assembly, linux device drivers, python, electronics

OS layer
I was solely responsible for the design, development, maintenance, documentation and basic test
of the whole OS layer (kernel, device drivers, hardware abstraction, communication channels) for
several generations of the central controller of the complex high precision high power generators
for different X-Ray tubes.
Both the application and the board being in-house developed and considering my understanding of
both worlds, I was dealing with both departements to add features, find and fix bugs, plan the next
generation of products... I was also providing tools for manufacturing as well as extra
functionnalities for the testers to validate the robustness of the final system in any situation.
Skills: C, VxWorks, PPC assembly, electronics, project management, C++, device drivers,
networking

Bootloader and board bring up
The board being in-house developed, I was helping the hardware departement to bring the first
prototypes up to life with alpha bootloaders. I was then completing those, following the
requirements of the application.
Skills: C, VxWorks, PPC assembly, electronics

Browser User Interface for VxWorks application (for Nortel Networks)
My main task was to complete, enhance and finalize the HTTP user interface of a voice processing
board running VxWorks . I added several key features and also helped the 3 other engineers on
some other parts of the code like the DSP driver , the database and the synchronization of files
over the network. The role of the full product was to answer customer calls with a pre-recorded
greeting that could be customized by the call-center agent.
Skills: C, VxWorks, DSP, HTTP server, web UI

Ad Hoc Call Recording
This product was recording a telephone conversation and sending it as an email attachment. To
develop this product on a telecom board running VxWorks , I developed an SMTP client and a
MIME encoder and ported the LGPL mp3 "lame" encoder. Because of the small amount of space
available on the embedded system, I had to integrate these components so that DSP data could
be streamed to the end-user mailbox.
Skills: C, VxWorks, MIME encoding, SMTP, porting

Files synchronization tool
I proposed, designed and implemented an idea to automate an existing manual process. The aim
was to keep a huge number of files and directories in sync among a large number of servers. I
designed and developed several major versions of the tool to fit the increasing needs of the
customers (flexibility, horse power, speed, smart features).
Skills: C, C++, MFC, NT multithreading, ODBC/ADO, COM, NT networking and SQL

Manufacturing Test Verification
I led the team that designed and developed this multi-department soft real time application. This
service obtained barcodes from a remote scanner using DCOM, checked some conditions against
an Access database and interfaced with a remote conveyor using DCOM or TCP/IP sockets.
Skills: C++, MFC, NT multithreading, ODBC, NT networking, TCP/IP sockets, Access database
