About me » picas [dot] fr

My name is Pierre Cassat (picas for my colleagues) and I am a web applications developer. My job is to create, develop and maintain the source code of websites, usually with PHP programming language and exclusively under open source environments. I worked in major french companies that makes the web of today for various clients, from the music band (and friends) to large accounts of the CAC 40. I also develop some personal open source projects, including a PHP parser of the Markdown syntax: Markdown Extended.

My development experience puts me in a position of “lead-developer” as we say, that is a technical referent, responsible for a team of developers and for the quality, publication and deployment of a source code. I particularly like the transmission of knowledge, for instance through the validation of the code of my padawans and think tanks on complex subjects.

In recent years I have also gained serious experience of DevOps (contraction of “development” and “operational”), including working on automation of deployments in different environments, automated execution of unit and functional tests and build up a thoughtful workflow to organize and manage an application.

I am also a teacher, specialist of the GIT software, widely used in our workplaces.

In parallel, I am the founder and boss of the artisanal web creation company Les Ateliers Pierrot.
