Passionate about technology, barcode and Rfid mobile systems, he knows how to code a mobile app for Android in standard and custom functional modules. He draws on his experience in cryptography at Gemplus to offer cost-effective authentication, traceability and trusted third-party software systems for digitizing digital proof systems.

He analyzes customers’ needs in detail and draws up neutral specifications.

He codes the database models linked to his applications and to ERP systems such as Dolibarr (Open Source), and APIs front-end websites so that customers can retrieve their data (back-end).

It administers data and program hosting on customer servers in France. The choice of barcode terminals from the leading suppliers and the appropriate Rfid chips is also a skill offered.

Updating and licensing systems are also developed in-house, so there’s no Google Play: only secure, professional solutions!

He expertly develops his own barcode scanner drivers in native Android language for better performance and stability.
