Benoît Sauts

Part of the Software Core Architecture Team for a Linux based Head Unit.

Development of an application framework based on QtCore (C++11, Qt 5.5) , adding convenience functionalities as well as BMW / project specific requirements like, e.g. thread monitoring, watchdog support, JSON schema validation, etc. My goal: achieving high quality. This was reached thanks to heavy testing at multiple levels, static code analysis tools and code coverage. I played the role of Integrator and got experienced with Bitbake. Gained insights in scheduling and CPU cgroups.

Development of a Speech middleware on multiple embedded platforms (QNX, Linux) in C++, using Qt 5.3 to alleviate the platform incompatibilities. Development of tests for the Speech middleware using QtTest (Unit-, Feature-, System-Tests) running on target. Experience with multi-threading and sockets (TCP) paradigm on embedded platforms. Other technologies involved: SQLite, JSON, XML, MOST, CommonAPI Git, Gerrit and Jenkins are an essential part of the team's SCRUM-based development process.

Software Developer, in UI and System UI, basically working on a worldwide R&D project, using Qt 4.8 (C++, QML and Javascript). Gained experience with Jenkins (CI) and OBS (rpm packaging). I was also Package Owner, this means my duty was to build up the package for the software and I had to ensure the integration would be successful.

Master Thesis with topic: "An Adaptive Mobile Phone Graphical User Interface" Design of a complete architecture for a system adapting its UI depending on the user's usage of the phone. Development of a prototype running on Symbian^3 platform, using Qt 4.7 (C++, QML and Javascript) Grade: 1,4

Assigned to the Qt Development Team. Working on demonstrator and UI (Tools: at first, Qt4.6 using C++ and afterward using Qt4.7, mainly QML with Javascript)

This position is an extension of my internship, therefore the task was similar.

I have been working in the High Level Integration team, more precisely in the Java Team. My task was to assess errors, deciding whether the cause was due to the Midlet, the platform or the SW, retesting and correcting was also required from time to time. Moreover, I had to develop some Midlets (phone/platform feature testing) as well as a Servlet. (Tools: Java ME, Java EE, Eclipse)

I took part in the research for the elaboration of the Sabella project which is a project aimed to create a Tidal Stream generator. I was asked to find a mean of communication between the shore and the generator. I also worked as an electrician, building master power board for buildings. The clients were the army, schools, companies, etc.
