Renaud Danniau

Solution Architect with a proven track record of success in contributing to AXA Belgium's P&C Retail department. I played a pivotal role in translating business requirements into robust and scalable architectures as well as in developing end-to-end solutions that optimize customer experience, enhance operational efficiency, and ensure compliance with regulatory standards. My expertise extends to advocating and presenting IT solutions at ARB (Architecture Review Board) sessions, ensuring effective communication, and garnering support for proposed solutions. Collaborating closely with cross-functional teams, I leverage my skills in solution design, technology evaluation, and project management to align IT initiatives with business goals.

My role :

1. Advocate and Presenter at ARB Sessions.

2. Align business needs within AXA's IT Landscape assessing feasibility and proposing custom solutions when necessary.

3. Define AWS/Azure Services and Databases: Defined services and databases based on AXA's governance, cost-effectiveness, and developer-friendliness criteria.

4. Collaboration with IT Security Experts

5. Coordination across domains with enterprise architects and managed resource availability with IT project managers.

6. Made decisions on technology adoption such as microservices and Kubernetes based on the capabilities of IT teams, favoring simplicity due to team limitations.

7. Conducted occasional code reviews, utilizing expertise in code analysis to enforce best IT practices.

8. Documented IT architecture using SPARX Enterprise Architect.

At Aug-e, a company specializing in the automation of energy communities, I served as a Software Architect and Senior .NET Developer. In this role, I played a crucial part in the architectural design, development, and optimization of new microservices running in Kubernetes, with a focus on high performance and maintainability. My responsibilities extended to advising on high-performance architecture and software, providing expertise in mathematical algorithms relevant to the energy sector, and analyzing performance bottlenecks using metrics.

My Role:

1. Member of the Main Board of Architects:

1.a) Provided strategic architectural guidance for optimal performance.

1.d) Provided expertise in mathematical algorithms relevant to the energy sector.

2. Performance bottlenecks analysis

3. Software Architecture prioritizing maintainability and high test coverage.

4. Actively participated in the hands-on implementation of software solutions for performant to very high-performant code (techniques like TPL, multithreading, caching strategies, and streaming).

6. Mentored developers in the team to achieve high-performance coding standards.

6.a) Allocation-Free coding for GC Optimization

6.b) Expertise in Task, ValueTask, and TPL Usage

6.c) Implemented memory layout optimization strategies (struct/class, etc.).

Electricity is transmitted through electric cables, which, when carrying significant currents, generate an electromagnetic field causing induced voltages in any conductor connected to the ground. Although known since the 1900s, this issue remains challenging as current studies rely on simplified laws. With the computational power available today, it is possible to model these interactions more precisely, optimizing infrastructure costs while ensuring operator safety and the durability of the conduits (due to corrosion problems).

My role:

1. Conducted mathematical analysis of the problem.

2. Designed the complete architecture of the program.

3. Implemented and optimized the software's hot paths using two approaches: Cloud computing through Azure (batch/function and virtual machines) and leveraging all available resources through multi-threading.

4. Ensured unit tests covered 90%+ of the code for the engine and approximately 80/90% for the graphical component.
