INSA Lyon
I’m an Information Technology Engineer with several years’ experience in full-stack web development and geomatics. Specializing in end-to-end project management, I support my customers from understanding their needs through to delivery, while guaranteeing tailor-made, robust and scalable solutions.
With solid expertise in front-end (HTML, CSS, JavaScript and TypeScript with or without framework) and back-end (Node.js, SQL), I also have skills in geographic information systems (GIS) and mapping applications.
My strengths:
As a freelancer, I’m available for one-off or long-term assignments. If you’re looking for an expert to turn your ideas into reality, I’m here to help!

Fédération Française de Course d'Orientation
Orienteering is recognized by the French Ministry of Sport as a high-level discipline, and the French Orienteering Team supports the best French athletes as they prepare for international competitions. France is one of the world’s top 6 orienteering nations. Faced with developments in the discipline, and the growing availability of performance data, the French team is constantly on the lookout for new analysis tools. I designed and produced Routechoice DB (routechoice-db.com), to support athletes in their day-to-day technical preparation.
Routechoice DB enables athletes to analyze their training sessions, giving them rapid access to relevant data and indicators:
An administrator portal enables coaches to add and manage training sessions and competitions.
Since the 2023 season, Routechoice DB has been used on a weekly basis by the Pôles France and French Orienteering Teams. Regular communication with the coaches of these structures has enabled the application to be progressively improved.

As part of the LiDAR HD program, France’s “Institut National de l’Information Géographique et Forestière” (IGN) is producing and distributing 3D mapping of all of France’s soil and subsoil using LiDAR data. This data opens the way to new and innovative mapping applications.
The Mapant.fr project aims to create the most accurate topographic map of France ever. The goal is to transform LiDAR data openly available, into a map complying with the ISOM 2017 standard, the most accurate specification for topographic maps. The resulting map can be used by the general public (hiking, outdoor competitions), as well as for professional applications (notably in forestry, where it can be used to map vegetation density).
As part of this project, I developed an open source software package: Cassini (cassini-map.com). To optimize map calculation time, it is implemented using the Rust programming language. The second part of the project consists in creating the infrastructure to distribute the computation on several servers.

CGI
As part of a team of fifteen engineers, I worked on the development and maintenance of the main business application for a major French energy company. The application enables the remote management of industrial PLCs, as well as the retrieval and processing of data from sensors.
As part of the team in charge of the application’s web portal, I took part in a major migration project from ASPX .NET technology to an Angular/Spring Boot stack. The high technical and business complexity of the existing application and the tight delivery deadlines made this a very rewarding experience.

Restaurant Le Bouillon des Eaux Vives
Development of the website for BOUILLON des Eaux-Vives, a brasserie restaurant in Saint-Pierre-de-Bœuf. To promote performance and indexing by search engines, while minimizing environmental impact, I used a static site generator (Astro JS) coupled with a headless CMS (Decap CMS).

Décathlon
In 2019, Décathlon is launching the Géonaute brand, specializing in orienteering sports. In particular, the team is looking to improve the range of compasses sold by the brand. As part of an assignment via my school’s Junior Entreprise, followed by a fixed-term contract, I carried out a research and development (R&D) study on how compasses work.
The high-end R900 compass model sold by Décathlon benefited from this R&D work.
“Thanks to Routechoice DB, our analysis are deeper and quicker, helping us to extract more benefits from our training. Its developper Nicolas Rio is super reactive to our requests, and even proactive with suggestions to keep it as the best tool available in the orienteering world.”
Charly Boichut | French Orienteering Team Head Coach
“We used the parcours-orientation.fr application to organize a seminar for the Lyon Métropole with 500 participants. The display of questions, validation of control points, timing, scoring, etc. all worked perfectly, and the participants were delighted!”
