Curriculum Vitae

My curriculum from a bird's view
After being consultant and trainer during 2 years at Valtech, I focalized quite exclusively on the training activity (Java, .NET, Web, XML), still at Valtech and at its subsidiary Valtech Training during 4 more years.
In parallel, I followed Sami Jaber in the adventure of creating our WebSite www.dotnetguru.org for which I wrote some articles and developed the "PetShops" sample applications.
Then I became a bit more engaged in one state of mind (OpenSource and Free software) and in one technical domain (Aspect Oriented Programming). Hence I developed an Open Source Aspect weaver for the .NET platform in collaboration with Jean-Baptiste Evain: AspectDNG.
In September 2005, I changed status to become a freelance consultant and trainer in order to have more time to dedicate to Free software and to some new technologies such as Generic AOP.
Last, in October 2007, I created thomasgil.com to give trainings and remotely implement software projects.
Technical skills
| Programming languages | Java, C#, C, Assembly, C++, Rust, Go, D, XSLT, PHP, JavaScript, Ruby, Python... |
| Plateforms | CUDA, Java EE, .NET |
| Design | Object Oriented Design, Design Patterns, Aspect Oriented Design |
| Operating systems | Windows, GNU/Linux, MacOS X |
DotNetGuru
As a co-author of www.dotnetguru.org, I have written technical articles such as:
- EJB - .NET Interoperability
- Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) with .NET and J2EE
- Enter the Web Matrix v0.6
Besides, I have the chance to participate once a year to the Symposium DotNetGuru, a one day seminar where technical experts (like Jean-Baptiste Evain, Eric Groise, Sébastien Ros, Julien Brunet, Didier Girard and Jean-Louis Bénard) expose their views on specific topics.
Book
A bigger article than the others... I have written an EBook entitled Conception Orientée Aspect, which has been sold on www.dotnetguru.org both in electronic and paper formats. After one year of selling it online, I have decided to make it free (as in "free speech" AND as in "free beer"). You can download it here
This book was a the logical step in my work on AOP and on AspectDNG. It helped me to stop and think about AOP / AOD and its impact on the way we design Object Oriented systems. Writing a document of such a size was a brand new experience for me, and it tought me a lot about how to structure ideas and how to organize one's work.
