Eric Laroche
worked and
works as a
Software Engineer
/
Software Architect
/
Software
Problem
Analyst
/
Researcher
/
Technology Consultant
in
and near
Zürich
/
Switzerland
/
Europe.
His
closer
professional interests
include
middleware
('network')
and
system software
('infrastructure')
development,
mainly
on
Unix
and
Java
platforms,
as well as
relevant
security aspects.
He used to develop
software engineering tools
('software for software engineers')
too.
Further interests
were and are
programming
in general,
using
the
C,
C++,
Java,
and
Lisp
languages,
as well as
some other
programming languages;
software quality assurance,
including
code reviews,
and
coding guidelines;
debugging,
performance tuning
and
general
troubleshooting.
Security
and its extended need for
code correctness,
and
multi-tier
middleware
debugging
have received
much priority
recently.
My
private interests
include
traveling,
hiking,
biking
(e.g. in
France),
gourmet
activities,
photography,
[watching]
movies.
Additionally I find interesting:
art
in the broader sense,
including
design,
architecture.
Expertise:
Analysis/Design:
OOA/D,
C/S
design,
UML/RUP
Unix
(SVR4,
Solaris,
GNU/Linux):
application
programming,
network
programming,
porting,
TCP/IP,
RPC,
CORBA,
Motif/X11,
middleware
development,
hardware
interfaces
/
device drivers,
optimizations,
installation/administration,
router
configuration
Windows
(NT,
XP,
others):
application programming,
network programming,
GUI
programming,
porting
Java platforms
(J2SE,
J2EE,
J2ME):
application programming,
server
programming,
middleware programming
Programming languages:
C/C++/Java/C#,
Lisp/CLOS,
scripting languages,
SQL,
IDL,
Assembly
(x86,
68k,
sparc),
Postscript
A strong focus lies on
middleware development
(network, communication and security layers),
analysis of
complex software and performance problems,
use of
software engineering tools and design patterns,
simulation, testing, quality assurance, refactoring, reviews,
and
defining development processes.
