I worked with Philippe on a Customer Portal project where
he acted as lead Java backend developer, architect and
scrum master. Philippe is an Agile/Scrum realist which
helped the team and me as Product Owner to deliver the
increments on time and within the scope of the project.
Philippe is highly knowledgeable, dedicated, a careful
perfectionist and above all socially involved. I hope to
have the pleasure of working with Philippe again in the
future.

Lune
Philippe is one of most reliable and knowledgeable people
I have met in my career. Always delivers, not afraid to
challenge and forward thinking. Very aware of what is
required in software engineering and can easily move
between business and technology. I met him when he started
as an engineer. Watched his development to a leader role
over the past couple of years and truly enjoyed working
together. Highly recommended.

Chief Technology Officer at Talpa eCommerce
I've had a pleasure working with Philippe on the same
development team for over a year. He struck me as somebody
eager to go an extra mile and help others, never afraid to
articulate his comments or questions, and putting quality
above everything else. Philippe isn't afraid to disagree
(no matter what your title is), if that will help to
improve the product and the code quality. I'd be more than
happy to work with him again and together strive for
giving 110%!
