Full Stack Engineer
Decathlon
Jul 2012 - Jan 2013 - 7 months

Creation of a multi-browser extension allowing the exchange of know-how between the different users of internal applications. This internship took place at Decathlon Campus, international headquarters of the Oxylane network, within the Supply-Chain project team.

The project consisted in proving the feasibility and developing the first functional prototype of a tool for optimizing exchanges between the various user entities of internal applications with the aim of promoting the exchange of application know-how.

My work was organized in several stages:
- Realize a proof of feasibility (POC)
- Perform a benchmark of existing solutions
- Develop a functional prototype of the extension (agile Scrum method)
- Create an administration site (Back-office)
- Present the project at the "IT days 2012" fair
RQ: I obtained the 4th place on more than 50 projects and the 1st place of the BU Brands IT. This show was therefore a success and aroused the interest of many people.
- Find a massive distribution solution (Showcase site)

The challenge was to convince the various management teams of the interest of such a collaborative tool in order to release a budget allowing the project to be launched.

The project was a success since the company decided to continue it. Initially with another intern (due to a lack of budget).

Stack: JavaScript, GWT, Java environment (J2EE, Maven, Spring, Eclipse ...), Database (PostgreSQL),

Missions: Design, Development, Unit Testing and Code Review (Sonar etc), UX Design & Development, Content Management

As part of controlling the fire risk and maintaining an exemplary state of the Nuclear plant installations, my mission consists of leading the implementation of a computer tool (analysis, design, development, deployment, acceptance, training) allowing automate packing management and other related processes.

Goals :

• Audit of the main process and related processes:
Analysis then modeling (ARIS)

• Writing documentation:
Study note, Functional specifications, Technical specifications

• Proposal of models:
Low fidelity (Balsamiq) and high fidelity (html5/css3)

• Iterative development (Scrum):
The project is based on the entire recent JavaScript ecosystem: Backbone, Marionette, Require, Node, Express, Grunt, Bower, Yeoman, Karma, Jasmine, serverless NoSQL databases (NeDB)...

My project will allow to prove that we can stably insert recent technologies in an older environment and to lay the foundations of a framework for the rapid design of mobile applications.

• Unit tests
Tools: Karma, Jasmine

• Quality Control :
Tools: Jshint, Jslint, SonarQube

• Receipts

• Deployment + distribution:
Deployment of the application within the group nuclear power plants interested in the project in the form of a classic "desktop" application (web application "wrapped" as an executable using node-webkit)

• User training:
Finally, I will be in charge of the handover (change of service provider) and training of the EDF teams in order to ensure the understanding and proper application of the new process.
