Christophe Delhorbe

I join Ingenico as a Solution Architect. I mainly define the architecture of new features for our payment applications, then I'm entrusted 3 shared services (teams in Belgium, Sweden and India). Among other things I work on Requests for Proposal, software architecture for evolutions or new applications (microservices, Rest/GRPC APIs, message bus, event sourcing, ...), development of prototype, common libraries or even complete components (Java/Spring, C++, Go), development of deployment scripts (Puppet), dashboards (Prometheus/Grafana, ELK) and some operations in production (migration, performance analysis, postmortem).

The components I work on all have high availability, scalability and security constraints. I'm also in charge of the PCIDSS and PCIPIN security audits for my apps. I make sure of sharing my knowledge with the development teams around me (documentation, presentation, training, code review).

Junior project manager at first, then team manager, I work on cross-platform client/server applications related to file sharing and online backup. I code mainly in Java on the client app first (Swing), then on the server (Spring, Postgresql). I learn C# to rewrite a C++ app and I push the teams towards an agile transformation.

My role then evolves into architect, I work on the scalability and the availability of our applications, on subjects as database replication (Postgresql), load balancing, or using RabbitMQ to distribute image processing tasks on workers.

My main mission as a contractor is for MBDA. As a junior developer, I work on GUIs for aircraft and missile mission preparation in a team of 6 people. It's a Java/Swing software which communicates with computation servers using CORBA.

I also work on smaller mission in Java/JSF as my first experience in backend development.

As I gain experience in Java, I also provide training for other developers.
