Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBenoit De Mezzo is an Ingénieur Architecte Applicatif et Système based in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France, with a strong six-year track record in software and systems engineering and over a decade of broader industry experience. He blends backend development (Java, C/C++), front-end skills, and system administration across Windows and Linux with containerization (Docker) and embedded/IoT work (Wemos, Raspberry Pi, PIC/ARM, Modbus/ZigBee). At Oslandia and previously as a lead developer, he has moved between hands-on coding and architecture, contributing to production-grade geospatial open-source projects like QGIS—improving PostgreSQL integrations and server documentation. His background includes a PhD in image analysis, which underpins a disciplined approach to complex data and time-sensitive systems. Colleagues benefit from his practical cross-discipline fluency: he can prototype embedded systems, harden deployments, and clarify deployment docs for reproducible production installs.
