About Me
After spending 4 years in Belgium at the beginning of my career, recruited by my thesis teacher, I started in Luxembourg as analyst-developer, in charge of migrating a legacy banking software to an OpenVMS platform.
I evolved during 24 years around the IBSY banking software with some great achievements to my credit:
• introduction of the Uniface 4GL language for GUI improvement,
• migration to the Oracle relational database,
• porting of the application to Solaris Unix,
• implementation of a high availability platform.
After taking responsibility for the R&D unit with 4 team members, I ended up as product manager for this IBSY banking software with supervision of 20 employees.
With the decline of Private Banking in Luxembourg, I made a transition to new IT technologies and Web projects.
In 2015, I launched my own company SimplyCIT to develop ERP software and the controlling activity. I immediately became an Odoo partner. Due to its strong growth, the Odoo activity could not be covered by internal resources, so the support of a larger structure became necessary. In April 2019, Xpertiz and SimplyCIT pooled an Odoo business unit that I currently manage.
• Aptitude in organizing and managing resources
• Design & Management of complex and international projects and/or migrations
• ITIL (services) and HERMES (project management) certification
• 20 Years of experience in Banking Software (Private Banking transactions, Money-Market, Securities, Forex,…)
• Experience in all areas of the complete life cycle of an application (developer, analyst, DBA, implementation, consultancy, training, project management)
• Very good technical knowledge (Infrastructure, DB, Software dev. Web dev)

- ITIL is Best Practice IT Service Management which is used by many hundreds of organizations around the world. A whole ITIL philosophy has grown up around the guidance contained within the ITIL books and the supporting certification and qualification scheme.
The ethos behind the development of ITIL is the recognition that organizations are becoming increasingly dependent on IT in order to satisfy their corporate aims and meet their business needs. This leads to an increased requirement for reliable, high-quality IT services.
ITIL provides the foundation for quality IT Service Management through documented, proven processes that cover the entire Service Lifecycle. It is easy for organizations to learn, tailor and implement to suit their environment.
