About Me

Hi, my name’s Sebastien.

Following a burnout, I am currently learning how to refactor myself because of the “Spoon Theory” (autism spectrum disorder).

Presently, I love Java and C# programming, building images with Docker and running them on Kubernetes.

My favorites practices are :

Test-Driven Develoment (TDD) to validate Proof-Of-Value experiments and other prototypes,
But above all my preference goes towards Domain-Driven Design (DDD) patterns in order to capture features and organize architecture components.

I prefer to focus more on product roadmap than project management. That’s why I always try to do my best with agile methodology, like Scrum for pure development stuff or Kanban for ops tasks.

I’m really sorry for my English speech. As you certainly know, it’s a well-known fact French people are awful when they speak another language than theirs :)

I am most skilled in :

Cloud providers: Azure & OpenStack,
Container-based solutions: Docker ecosystem whose Swarm Mode but also more sophisticated alternatives like Kubernetes (I code my own controllers), in particular k3s from Rancher and k0s from Mirantis,
And last but not least, Jakarta EE and MicroProfile frameworks. Apache TomEE and Quarkus are my two favorites runtimes because of their simplicity: I prefer these KISS solutions to more complicated ones :)
More recently, I (re)discovered the power of C# and more specifically .NET Core ecosystem for Microservices.

Education

Software Engineering

School or University	Degree	Period
Université du Littoral Côte d’Opale Calais, France	Master’s degree in Computer Science	2002-2004
Institut Universitaire Professionnalisé Calais, France	Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science	2000-2002

During my time at Université du Littoral Côte d’Opale, I further developed most of my key skills such as software design and application programming.

I spent a lot of my free time as a committee member of the IUP Action Club, raising funds for medical research on genetic diseases and taking on roles such as President and Vice-President.

Maths, maths and maths

School or University	Degree	Period
Université du Littoral Côte d’Opale Calais, France	Bachelor’s degree in Maths	1997-2000
Lycée Mariette Boulogne-sur-mer, France	High school diploma	1996-1997

During these years, I decided to focus myself on maths studies rather than IT stuff. The reason for this is that I was afraid to do a job in relation to my hobby.

When I was a child…

…I first programmed at the age of 11. After that, this hobby never left me.
