Bertrand, what do you do at Minalea ?
Short answer: A bit of this and a bit of that. Long anwser: I am part software developer, part software architect and part DevOps Engineer. I like to focus on improving existing code and existing infrastrucure.
Since when ?
I always been connected to Minalea as I know Guy, Stéphane, Sébastien and Peter since more than 2 decades. Every time I visited them Annecy, they tried to convince me to join Minalea. They finally succeeded end of 2020.
Where are you from? What's your background?
After graduating from University with a degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, I joined an Engineering school in Annecy (with SĂ©batien). I stopped school atfer 2 years to join the first pan european online insurance INEAS in 1999. A decade later, I joined Axa Group in 2010 where I was successively software developer, team leader, dev manager and the software architect. During the decade I spent at Axa, I lived in Poland managing the polish team for 6 years.
A passion ?
Not easy to pick only one. The more important one is definitively Comics books. That's a virus I got from my father and today my comic collection has more than 2500 books. Then I like photography but I did not do much of it lately. And last one is cooking. More precisely pastry. Pastry is like chemistry: you must follow the recipe and there are not a lot of room for improvisation (so more challenging) As I have diabetes, lately I am trying to find recipes that I can adapt to make them sugar "free" and still taste good. đđž đ°
