Hello! I'm Eric Darchis, Senior Software Engineer. My main focus is Java development but I am very interested in the whole cycle from customer needs to operations and maintenance. My most recent activities leveraged the power of Amazon Web Services with Sprint Boot, Node.js, Docker and Twilio and more to deliver reliable text messaging services across the world. Pragmatic to the bone, my heart is Agile but I remain free from Technology Religion.

My Interests
Computers were my first passion as early as 1983, when I was 6 (Commodore VIC20). Later, I
discovered astronomy and had the wonderful opportunity to mix these passions at the end of
my degree.
I love mountain biking, climing, diving, hiking and roller skating.
