• 2014-2019 Mozilla corporation, Senior Engineering manager, Paris
  In charge of the release and quality management teams (~15 people)
  The end goal of this team is to ship Firefox products every 6 weeks, keeping high quality level.
  Requires coordination with most of the Mozilla teams (engineering, product, project management, marketing, legal, communication, etc).
  On parallel, we are developing tools to improve the quality of the code and identify new issues early in the development phase. To achieve this goal, we are using approaches like static/dynamic analysis or more experimental approaches leveraging machine learning.
