Background


I had a first career in computing, notably as Product Architect, Technical Director and Marketing and Strategy Director within European enterprise software vendors. In these roles, I provided pre- and post-sales consulting services in large industrial and retail corporations, working in English as well as in French.


I became a translator and a consultant in 2004.


As a songwriter and composer, I am also very knowledgeable in English/French terminology of music as well as related technology (software, studio, instruments, gear, etc.).
