Web & IT Lead
Responsable Web & informatique
As one of the founders of the company my responsibilities have been wide in their definition. Our initial projects were client web development and our in house site hosting (one of the first in France). This expanded as time went on for specific development projects and then the creation of the PrivateRelay email service. Projects include:
PrivateRelay (2014-Present)
In 2014 PrivateRelay, a collaborative email service was launched. As IT lead I was responsible for the majority of front and back office development. The service has since grown with clients from around the world. During the time working on the project I gained an array of knowledge in email delivery and signing.

Abstract handling and conference registration have also been other key areas of my work. I have been one of the main developers on a number of abstract submission / scoring systems, session planning / programmes and conference delegate registration. Working as a full stack developer on both the back office database and the user side for abstract submitters, scoring team and delegate registration.

EuroFlu (WHO) / EISS (1997-2014)
I worked as IT Project leader for the European Influenza Surveillance Scheme (EISS), later rebranded as EuroFlu when run by WHO Europe. Clinical and virological data were submitted into the web site from European institutions. A weekly bulletin was then prepared with country specific graphs and maps. The epidemiological head of the group then added the text. The bulletins were pivotal in the surveillance of influenza in Europe from 1997.

I have also developed a back office utility to give our clients the ability to modify their web site menus, and HTML pages using a WYSIWIG editor. This emulates a CMS without the security concerns of these products.
Managed virtualisation server environments using VMWare ESXi are another area of my expertise.
