I want my career to be led by international challenges in innovative electronic companies. I'm excited by team play work in multicultural environments.
I am skilled in both Engineering and Marketing/Sales. My engineering degree in EE has given me an important logical and mathematical reasoning so that I have a good critical and analytical mind. And the Business specialized Master degree allowed me to have the overall strategic vision and the Business dimension necessary for the management of innovative projects.
I specialized in “Designing and Integrating Electronics Systems” during the last two years of my ESIEE Engineering course while I was in an academic exchange program in Madrid and then in Southampton. During these years abroad, I considerably improved my English and Spanish. I also increased my openness and my flexibility to multicultural environments that made me able to work efficiently in Cascoda (ASIC Design Engineer) and then Texas Instruments (Business Development Engineer).

Curiosity is the main feature my colleagues, friends and family use to describe me. I am constantly getting informed about technological, political, economic and environmental news, allowing to have strong interest in High-Tech projects and a passionate discussion about the Electronics Industry.

I am from the Parisian region where my three brothers (being the 2nd) and my parents still live.

  • Made a Marketing of Innovaton study for a new technological project using the MS MTI Master tools that I learnt.
  • It consisted in understanding what was the products they wanted to launch, what was their experience, the competitors, the market size, the complexity of the technology, the feasibility...
    Our team of 3 consulting students prospected potential customers for few months and interviewed them in order to understand their needs in their daily activity and what would be their interest for them in this soon-to-come product.
    We wrote a report that we presented to the school and the company. This report gave a status of the product, the results of our investigations/interviews and our recommendations in terms of technology choices, strategy and market focus.
    This student project was led in parallel with EMLyon studies and with their support.

  • I implemented Management of Innovation using the MS MTI master tools that I learnt.
    It consisted in understanding how the company worked, what were the products, services and solutions provided, interviewing the key employees and figuring out what were their daily activities.
    That allowed our team of 3 consulting students to write a report that we presented to the school and the company. This report gave a status of the company, the results of our investigations and our recommendations.
    This student project was led in parallel with EMLyon studies and with their support.
  • During my final engineer internship, I took part in the design of a full custom-designed ASIC chip.
    This project was dedicated to cooperate with other companies in a home automation project in which Cascoda provides the low-power radio chip.
    The objectives were to design microprocessor peripherals in synthesisable RTL code and test them rigorously by using self-checking testbenches with independently developed stimulus.
    Once these hardware coding objectives completed, I had to implement them into the whole system and then test them thoroughly by software.
    Finally, the synthesis allowed me to verify the functionality, size (number of gates deduced from an 180nm cell library) and timing (16MHz) criteria from the design specifications. It made me sure the modules developed would be tiny enough to fit into the final device without any problem.
  • At first, I developped VHDL modules specifically designed for an 8051 chip such as a sleep timer, a watchdog timer and a MAC timer.
  • Then, I implemented another serial transmission protocol to the chip, which happened to be an SPI interface.
  • Meanwhile, I wrote the drivers for the modules and a precise technical documentation explaining how to use all the modules and how to use the tests I developed.
