Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolHerve Menager is a seasoned software engineer based in Paris with 13+ years building web-based systems, integrating distributed services, and improving software usability. At Institut Pasteur since 2006 he has applied a pragmatic full-stack toolbox—Python and Java backends, JavaScript/AJAX front-ends, SQL/PL-SQL databases, XML tooling and Linux/Unix operations—to deliver robust, maintainable solutions. His background spans research and industry roles in France and the US, giving him a strong footing in both academic workflow needs and production constraints. He contributes to open-source scientific tooling, notably improving the cwltool reference implementation for the Common Workflow Language to better handle schema enums and job handling. Comfortable with legacy and modern stacks (Apache/IIS/Tomcat, SVN/CVS), he brings steady craftsmanship to integration-heavy projects and a knack for turning complex data schemas into reliable runnable workflows.
