π€ About programmer's day
Programmer's day is [Wikipedia]
"known as the Day of the Programmer, is a professional day that is celebrated in Russia on the 256th (hexadecimal 100th, or the 28th)."
The fun thing for me is to celebrate something that matches a power of two. So I started wonder what could happen if I would try to celebrate this as a work anniversary.
This blog post is about this trial (and the resulting retro).
π About my 2^6=64
months work anniversary
After some computation I discovered that I joined OPT-NC
2^6=64
months ago.
After some reflection I thought it would be useful to use this opportunity to put things in perspective... and then be able to pick the things that I found the most relevant, that help keep my motivation, learning path on track and will to go further.
π€ The retro
The innovation has for me a central place, here are the hottest topics:
- Public innovation before going to OPT-NC, as an outsider
- Public innovation as an insider
- Public APIs journey (RapidAPI, APIGEE)
- Open data journey on Kaggle
- Disruptions around APIs, Open Data & AI
- The DevRel/DevEx way
So finally I found useful to make the retro of my most favorite moments and realizations.
π As an outside community contributor
Prior to be part of OPT-NC, I made some public innovations with two main topics.
My goal - already - was to disrupt the end-user experience with public cloud API services.
My thoughts were as follows :
which better way that you really want to be part of it than by offering innovations as part of the recruitment process ?
- ππ Public API for telephone Numbers : annuaire des numΓ©ros de mobilis
-
π¬ π² Smarter mailboxes with Arduino IoT Cloud platform and
IFTTT
... which I pitched this way:
ποΈ "Parole d'agent"
1 year later, as a regular employee, I had the opportunity to be part of the "Paroles d'agent OPT-NC" interview, talking about :
- Core missions
- Data interoperability
- Productivity for collaborators : do more with less
- Collaboration
- Favorite TV-show
- About creativity and LEAN innovation
π° The case of innovation at "RAPPORT DβACTIVITΓ 2019"
I also had the great pleasure to get interviewed for the "RAPPORT DβACTIVITΓ 2019", see below:
Next, I'll pick some of the innovations I could push...chosen accordingly to their potential impact on the end-user.
π² Automation, sms
and AI assistants
I had the opportunity to build services and prototypes around sms, below two of the coolest things I could manage to implement with my team (or as a standalone programmer during week-end hackathon π ) :

Thanks to previously published public APIs I was soon able to build the first ever connected smart ChatBOT thanks to a custom Langchain tool:

π Going SaaS with Data strategy & API marketplace
The more I worked on API Marketplaces and Open data, the more I felt the need to learn more about Data Strategy :
π― Data strategy for (not so) dummies

... and I officially kicked off our journey to API Marketplace on APIGEE:

π Devrel/DevEx journey with students
To **score how our APIs are easy and useful **I could produce some very cool prototypes and get early feedbacks while producing cool software:

π§βπ€βπ§ Going Open Data on Kaggle
While dealing more and more with data, I also felt the need to efficiently store and share datasets.
As an insider I choose to learn more about datascience and dataengineering so we could efficiently deliver ready-to-use data, based on static datasets or APIs.

π Recruiting for my team
In any organization, you can't achieve great things without collaborators, so I started to learn more and work on human resources data, especially on Job offers :
π’ About job offers, innovation & data strategy π
