About
A Software Engineer specialized in Embedded Systems & IoT, I have worked as an independent consultant since 2021.
Today, I help my clients designing and developing their embedded software. I make a point in writing well-architectured code that can be maintained and reused on the long term.
My languages of predilection are C and Java, which allows me to write both low-level embedded firmware and higher-level human-interfaced software. I focus on writing high-quality code (i.e. no warnings, no untracked TODOs) in a proper development environment (i.e. build automation, proper git workflow, etc.) rather than functional but hastily tested and non-documented code.
A French native currently based in the Nantes area, I am fluent in English and have an intermediate level of Spanish, which allows me to work in an international context.

Terence quickly took charge of his mission by developing a functional prototype, from the first steps of architectural design to the test phase deployment. Terence was able to work as much with our South Korean and Chinese partners than with the other internal stakeholders at Kelio (marketing, business teams).
Satisfied with Terence's performance, we extended his mission so that he could contribute to other projects. We appreciated his dual technical mastery of high and low level programming languages, as well as his ability to analyze the end needs and the user context.
Terence was able to fit into our team of a dozen people and was a driving force in the implementation of new processes to improve the quality and reliability of the code produced, in particular through the gradual deployment of a CI/CD infrastructure.
We appreciated Terence's constructive and pleasant attitude throughout his mission where he was able to fully share his experience for Kelio and was able to suggest relevant proposals while respecting the integrity of the team. We wish him a bright professional future.

I had the pleasure of working with Terence on the development of a product to be used in the United States. Terence, at the time, was working with TPL Systems, our Technology Partner, and was tasked to provide a operational demonstration design for a product intended for remote monitoring and control of multiple early warning devices. The purpose of this design was to be a marketing tool used to solicit feedback from potential customers regarding information desired and ease of use. He was responsible for the User interface and the development of the IP/4G based interface to the remote devices.
Terence's technical and interpersonal skills made it very easy to work with him. He valued different opinions and was very quick to implement proposed changes. His English language skills, both written and verbal are excellent.

More about me
After having developed my first video games as a self-learner back in high school, my personal projects have evolved and now include applicative software, electronics and mechanics.
I also devote my free time to reading, be it a literary classic or some social issue essay, or cooking a cruelty-free recipe.
My company is part of the 1% for the Planet movement, meaning that at least 1% of its gross revenue is reversed to climate-related charities.
