At Bigsool we try to take ourselves not too seriously. We're more focused on taking the solutions for your needs and requirements serious, and spend a large amount of time making sure we do what we do best: finding simple and elegant solutions to complex problems, using a perfect mix of innovative design, user experience, and code.
Our offices are located in Sophia Antipolis, at the CICA. The CICA offers excellent offices, air-conditioning to keep us cool, UPS to keep us busy non-stop, and 24/7 access control and surveillance to keep us safe. We have every kind of Mac, iPhone, iPad, Windows, Linux, Android, and on a daily basis we tackle these with the right amount of Java, Cocoa, PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, ActionScript, using frameworks of your choice to create great new products.
We try to make the best apps, for the web and mobile devices such as iPhone, iPad, Android. Not every job you might ask us to take on will be accepted. Only those tasks which are challenging enough to be interesting, or complex enough to force us to scratch our heads for a while. Unless of course you pay indecently well :)
It is not our intent to become a large multinational firm. We would prefer to remain a small outfit with a few valuable customers, and time to spare to create apps for mobile users. And maybe an occasional beer, even if most of us prefer a good glass of wine.
Interaction Design
User interaction expert, having received the honors from Apple via two "Pomme d'Or" (Golden Apple Awards), Mic shapes the way we conceive our products and orients the realisation of user interfaces to be simple and intuitive, always adpated to the problem at hand.
Mic, independant since always, and co-founder of several companies, one of which went public, was naturally designated to transform this adventure into a success story. With an excellent relational and a proven experience for leadership, Mic takes care of project management and requirements in general.
In his free time, Mic likes to hike, surf, and surf the web searching for the latest "touch" frameworks, novelties, and continuously learns from new web sites, applications, and devices he analyzes.
New technologies
Software architect and developer with 20 years of experience in C, C++, Java, Objective-C, SQL, Javascript, Python ... David combines the worlds of classical applications and web apps in an innovative and astonishing way. Equally an expert in security and IP networks, David is at ease with the problematics of banking networks and distribution of secure content.
Always testing the latest technologies, good and bad, he is on the outlook of the latest tendencies for us and our customers.
Passionate photographer, David regularly shares his greatest shots with us. His talent also shows in his analysis, which we hope he'll share with everyone soon on our tech-blog.
Client / Server architecture
Laurent is our expert in client server architecture. Knowledgable about scaling and performance issues with web servers, and servers in general, he's the man to find and implement innovative and efficient solutions. Laurent also participates in the emergence of web 2.0 clients, and beyond, adopting standards whenever possible, with a keen analysis of the shortcomings and advantages of new technologies.
Laurent likes to find algorithmes that will simplify tomorrow, hide complexity and increase performance and productivity of end-users. Exceptional programmer, he always goes to the bottom of things, not only for his personnal interrest, but also to make sure that every thing is square and bug free.
When Laurent needs a change of ideas, he rides his mountain bike, or simply walks, in the mountains just behind us ...
Design
Christopher is the creative of the team. Resourceful and careful to detail, he draw and creates logos, marketing materials, web sites, as well as mobile apps. Like mic in user experience, he has the final say on the visual aspects, and he'd better be pixel perfect ;)
Hard working and demanding, Christopher is very good at translating our customers needs into strategy and artwork, making their identity come true on-screen.
Outdoor and nature amateur, Christopher loves hiking and finds inspiration in the Meditarrenean calanques.
Mobile & Flash technologies
Thomas is the youngest of the team. However, despite his 25 years, or maybe thanks to, he grew up in a web world and has a real and strong expertise in this field. So much that he even teaches graduates at the University of Aix-Marseille II.
Open minded, and working countless hours, Thomas is capable of finding adapted solutions in terms of performances and cost to the most complex problems.
Thomas spends most of his spare time implementing small prototypes... which regularly transform into solutions you can find in the AppStore.
