During my studies, my engineering experience has not been limited to the classroom but has expanded into the working world. Throughout my education, I had relevant professionnal experiences dealing with Internet, networks and telecoms from 1998 to 2001.

During the summer 1998, I created the website of Thomson Broadcast Systems. The objectif of the 3-month internship, in Paris, France, was the development of http://www.thomsonbroadcast.com.

I worked within the Marketing Department and handled the overall project, from the competitive websites analysis to the final validation of its contents. It was a great opportunity to work with the different departments and collect the necessary information. Moreover, I maintained the website, from September 1998 to December 2000. Have a look at it !!

In the summer 1999, I worked during 3 months for Cegetel Group, the largest private telecommunications operator in France. My internship took place in the Engineering Department of the Société Française du Radiotéléphone (SFR). I was given the opportunity there to analyze GSM protocols at A / Abis interfaces, and to develop and document procedures for these types of analysis, which required exceptional organizational and interpersonal skills. Then I created a Microsoft Access database used to improve the subsequent processing.

This experience at an operator was very beneficial, and was the occasion for me to improve my working knowledge of the GSM standard, and to prove my ability to adapt quickly to new situations and activities.

From May to December 2000, I completed a 8-month internship at Ericsson Radio Systems AB, in Stockholm, Sweden. I simulated the behavior of an IP-based radio access network for a cellular mobile phone system. I developed, using the Network Simulator, a simulation tool for the dimensioning of such networks. I was studying network performances and documented different scenarios. It was an excellent opportunity to attend seminars and technical courses on the latest technologies : Bluetooth, EDGE, UMTS, GPRS, IP, Data Communications Networks...

From April 2000 to February 2001, I was working for Moving International Technologies. I managed and guided the web development of Directmoving.com including the graphical design, functionality, and content. I developped their website, using HTML, ASP, Javascript languages, and the Flash technology. I got a great experience in handling online databases, using database management systems, as MySQL. I was also coordinating the new integrations with the different departments and external partners.
