Who am I?

My name is Alexis Nominé, I'm 22 and I live in Lyon. I spent much of my childhood in Saint-André, Reunion island.

I live in apartment with 5 other people, working or studying in fields as diverse as purchaser, public administration, history, or specialized education.

I am currently working part time (studiying the rest of the week) for Flamel Technologies, a biotech company of 300 people.

My work since September 2008 is to design and migrate the intranet portal of the company and its various tools: employee directory, helpdesk, web collaboration, document management to Microsoft SharePoint

Experiences

I chose to leave Reunion Island four years ago to pursue my studies in Marseille in a DUT curriculum in Networking and Telecommunications, but also with the aim of opening up to new cultural and professional backgrounds. During these two years, I had the opportunity to develop my leadership and my taste for mutual aid and human relations, in particular, to get involved in campus life by animating outdoor sport summer camps.

The next place I went to was Trois-Rivières, in the state of Quebec, Canada to participate in an academic exchange. I met open-minded people, with a philosophy of life and a perspective on the world different from France. It was a truly rewarding experience.

I am now in Lyon, following part-time studies in IT engineering in order to expand my technical skills, but also economic, management and humanities skills.

Work Experience

Curiosity and sense of the challenges led me to be self-taught in web design. I designed and administered websites for associations, sport events and restaurants. I attach particular importance to the observance of standards (XHTML, CSS, ECMAScript, PHP) and ergonomics. I had the opportunity to use the Joomla CMS, and to customize or design of many of its components to meet the needs of my clients. I also use Adobe Photoshop for graphic design.

I'm using Apple Macintosh since I was old enough to have a computer, so I have extensive knowledge of Mac OS 8.5 to 10.6. I also participated in hardware selection of Macintosh computer rooms and their implementation: networking, account management and sharing in Mac OS X Server. I have also had the opportunity to install and configure Apache web servers under Linux Debian 4, or IIS under Microsoft Windows Server 2003.

I like to be constantly aware of new high tech products, test new ideas, compare. I don't hesitate to help or advise my friends on choosing hardware, to install a HD or an operating system.

I use English on a daily basis to seek solutions to technical problems in forums, FaQs. I also speak english with some non-French speaking friends and people I meet.

Passions

I'm climbing since the age of 3 and I was in Reunion island elite team from 2001 to 2004. I also have a trainer degree and I sometimes organize trips to bring my friends to the joys of the outdoors.

I took part in a large number of outdoor camps for young people aged from 8 to 16 with "Lynx Action Loisirs" association, in french Alps.
I'm really passionate about allowing young people to participate in activities that really different from their everyday life: kayaking, mountain biking, canyoning, tree climbing.

I love cooking and sharing with my friends many Creole dishes, cakes.
