As part of the Edge Dev Experience team, my role is to document and evangelize Edge web technologies such as DevTools, PWA or WebView. I write developer documentation on the Edge docs website, produce demos, videos and blog posts to help web developers adopt and use our technologies.
Part of the Microsoft Edge Developer Tools team as a senior software engineer. I helped implement new features (such as layout debugging and Focus mode), triaged and acted on customer feedback, fixed bugs and improved accessibility in DevTools. A lot of the work was done on the open-source Chromium project, in collaboration with the Chrome DevTools team at Google.
I was in charge of the engineering team that implemented and
maintained the following tools in Firefox: CSS grid inspector, Flexbox
inspector, Fonts editor, CSS Shapes editor, CSS Changes tracker, the
Responsive Design Mode and more.
These are industry-leading tools that have been acclaimed by DevTools
users, and have been influencing other browser vendors' strategies.
The biggest part of my job consisted in managing engineers, including
hiring, mentoring, planning, setting goals and expectations, doing
performance reviews, etc.
I was also actively involved in defining the product strategy, setting
team goals and helping design and ship new features, keeping in close
contact with product management and user experience.
I was also the owner of the DevTools module within
the Mozilla project.
At first I managed a sub-team within DevTools, but then moved on to
being in charge of the entire group (~20 people, including two
managers and their teams).
My responsibilities included people management, hiring, planning,
defining strategies and goals and technical ownership of the Inspector
module.
I led the team through various projects including: the first CSS
layout debugging tool in any browser (CSS Grid inspector, which I
actively helped design, implement and ship), important re-architecture
projects (XUL removal, and multi-process support), refactor of the
entire UI with React/Redux, new remote debugging features, etc.
Worked remotely with a geographically distributed team, on Firefox
DevTools, part of the open-source Mozilla project.
I was in charge of the DOM/HTML/CSS tooling within DevTools.
My main work consisted in setting the Inspector tool on a trajectory
that would make it relevant and even possibly leading in the
future.
I implemented a lot of missing features then, modernized it, but also
implemented innovative features (a CSS animation/transition inspector,
a CSS transform previewer). Finally, I participated in many code
clean-up and re-architecture projects such as the implementation of an
entire new rendering stack for highlighting elements in the page.
I joined the newly created Airport IT development group within
Amadeus, and worked on mission-critical applications for the Airport
IT industry.
I helped implement a runway sequence planner and a stand and gate
allocation tool.
I wrote mostly HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript with client-side frameworks.
The applications had to deal with big amounts of data that needed to
be displayed live with high performance.
I also spent 2 months in Munich, Germany, to help and train a part of
the development team based there.
I was in charge of the team developing the Amadeus
aria templates
UI framework.
The team was focused on delivering a fast and reliable framework that
powered professional single-page web apps for the travel-industry
business.
I helped create the team, put in place processes and managed the day
to day activities.
The framework became the official Amadeus UI web stack, used by
hundreds within the company, and later on also open sourced.
Using a variety of technologies from Java/J2EE to Ajax, I participated
in the design, architecture, development and maintenance of an
internal client/server application framework.
I also trained other development teams to use the framework.
I worked on aircanada.com's booking website and implemented and maintained several of the pages, using JSP, HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
As a web developer and designer, I created websites for companies in New Zealand. I was responsible for meeting with customers, designing the pages and implementing the sites, based on a CMS.
