Work Experience

2017 — 2022
London, UK

Iterating on the Live Event Experience, leading the work on the web and hiring teammates to work on Web, Android and iOS.
Worked on many new features and refactors until the project moved to maintenance.

Joined the team working on Search and develop new projects such as Topics pages.

In 2020, I joined TweetDeck in an effort to rebuild the client on the same stack as Twitter.com with the ability to share logic and components between the two web projects.
I helped hiring most of the team as well as leading the engineering work and helping with the product roadmap.

2014 — 2017
London, UK

I worked on a whole new project, building on the expertise from Mesagraph: tvanalytics.twitter.com. This project was quickly abandoned to focus on Twitter's web client: twitter.com.

On twitter.com, I worked on Events pages, creating a space to expose Tweets related to a particular event or topic.
My team then shifted to the Live Video project allowing to stream live video directly on Twitter bridging the gap between "first and second screens".
This project was particularly challenging working under a tight timeline to be ready for the start of the NFL season.

I later was part of the effort of bringing Periscope on Twitter under the Live Events Experience project. Rebuilding the whole Live experience to add more flexibility to the framework allowing us render render multiple kind of media on the Live Event pages, I lead this project on the web.

Acquired by Twitter in March 2014.

Software engineer in a four developers team, I mostly focused on the web application used by our customers to access "Social TV" analytics dashboards.

During my time, I rewrote the web application as a single-page application (SPA), build an advance search and querying interface, and extended existing features.
I also managed the infrastructure of a company we acquired.
