PREFERRED JOB
WORK EXPERIENCE
From 2009 to 2012
Self employed Consultant. IPv6 For Life
I was keeping the focus on IPv6 and designed and delivered many training to customers.
The best experience I had were a training in Miami for CISCO and CISCO partner of South Americas.
It was a great week with 22 people in the classroom from very different jobs but everybody was very
happy of the training.
▪ During this period I have been the IPv6 FAST LANE IPv6 Course Matter Expert and I was developing
all their IPV6 Training.
▪ I have been a consultant for MONACO Telecom who was launching a new MPLS-VPN backbone
with ALCATEL-LUCENT Products.
▪ I have been a Consultant for EDF in Nantes to help the starting of a CISCO centre of expertise.
From 2002 to 2009
IPv6 Software Engineer for CISCO
I was designing the test plan for any new IPv6 feature and then I was writing the scripts to automate
the testing.
I was also helping the teams, which were running my script when they were finding an issue, and
more troubleshooting was needed to raise a bug.
I was also measuring the coverage to get at least 80% of code coverage by my tests using CFLOW.
I did the dev-test for 6PE, 6VPE, SeND and Netflow for IPv6. This represents about 15 scripts.
.
From 1999 to 2002
IPv6 Network Consulting Engineer for CISCO
I was supporting two customers who were paying for this extra service for CISCO to provide proactive
advice to the customer to keep a scalable network. I was also the first concerned when the customer
hit a big problem. I supported EQUANT and VIVENDI when they were launching their brand new
MPLS-VPN network.
For EQUANT I could also be called when a EQUANT customer had a problem and EQUANT was not
able to find the solution. I posted a long story on my Web blog about supporting EQUANT.

From 1997 to 1999

2. Curriculum Vitae
Replace with First name(s) Surname(s)
I was managing a small team of 5 people. Most of them were colleagues who followed me from ITS
as I had pretty cool conditions. I refused to make a training factory so my trainers never had 2 weeks
in a Row of training. Always one week to read, test and make the next training better.
I was certified on most CISCO : ICRC, ACRC, IMCR, CIT, CID, MCRI, MCSI, CLSC, CATM, MCNS.
I passed the CCIE and designed a 2 weeks bootcamp to train CCIS for the Exam.
From 1994 to 1997
Trainer at ITS (SITA Group)
I was training airlines solutions to replace terminal clusters to LAN. Many started with very cheap
NetBIOS Solutions and migrated to Novell when the network was growing or TCP/IP.
In 94 I was sent 2 weeks to San Jose for a TTT. The Cisco Trainer training was inkling a test everyday
someone had to present a subject from the day and was evaluated. At the ned there was a final test.
And then we were monitored and if the rating was not good enough the CCSI was no more valid.
I train SITA Engineers to make CCIEs in Paris, New-York and Singapore for about 2 years it was my
program.
From 1989 to 1994
Pre Sales Technical Support, Project manager ITS (SITA Group)
I was the only technical resource who knows about LAN and PCs. ITS had a very strong airline culture
with Terminal Clusters, modems but network started to get in with X.25 networks. We were distributing
the EMULEX Card as SITA was developing all their applications on it. So we distributed a very
interesting software suite of program, the SYSTEM STRATEGIES to interface IBM SNA with TCP/IP
and Unix world. This was the time of downsizing were mini and micro computers were replacing
Mainframes and TCP/IP was also chosen because it was peer-to-peer. IBM tried APPN to make a
peer to peer on SNA but it did not work as TCP/IP won the battle. This was before NAT kill the peer to
peer and TCP/IP key driver was that he was peer-to-peer….
