Martin Salmon

Liège, BE

Full-Stack Developer

Discovered computer science a few years ago and I have not left it since.

Lived in the United States for 9 months back in 2015-16 and then started studies that I didn't enjoy as much as I thought I would.
That's when I started computer science studies.

I am currently doing a Master's Degree in Computer Systems Architecture at HEPL (Liège, BE) and I also have a Bachelor's Degree in Information Technology from HELMo (Liège, BE).

Passionate about anything close to a computer, I also enjoy Cycling, Basketball, Video Games and traveling.

Technologies I have worked with

During my studies as well as my personnal projects, I had the chance to work with a lot of different technologies. I really enjoy working on the front-end using React or Svelte as well as the back-end with Java (Spring Boot), C#, Python (Flask), NodeJS (Express). I have also worked on a few Mobile Apps using Java, Kotlin, React Native and Flutter.

My bachelor's was focused on becoming a full-stack developer ending with an internship at NRB where I worked on a SPFx Project using React in the Sharepoint Environnement.

My master's is less focused on development and rather on theoritical concepts like AI (Neural Networks, Tensorflow), Cloud (private and public with AWS), Networking (Routing protocols,...), Data (Big Data,...) and IoT (MQTT, LoRa,...)

I work mainly on Windows but I am no stranger to Linux and Mac.
Git, Jira, Confluence, Trello, Azure DevOps and any IDE or code editor are tools I have enjoyed working with.

Projects I have been a part of

GRICOR

I have been a part of SALTO for 2 years where I had the chance to work on real applications for real clients.

My project was GRICOR, a Web Application that helps professors from my school to correct and grade exams by allowing them to scan the answer sheets and correct on the platform.
The project consisted of a REST API using the Flask Framework (Python) and a React Front-End.
I worked on this project for two entire years (about 10 hours per week).

AliCoins

AliCoins was the biggest school project I had to develop. The goal was to have a Web Application (using Svelte) as well as a Mobile Application (using Java) that allow users to create an account, trade a bunch of different cryptos and have a chat about different topics.
We also had to develop a REST API using Java Spring Boot to connect both apps and we used Firebase to have notifications.

FlexDesk

FlexDesk is the name of my end-of-studies project. I was an intern at NRB for 15 weeks and I worked on an Application that allowed employees to book a desk anywhere in the buildings.
The main goal was to have an application integrated in Microsoft Teams and designed especially for the mobile version of this tool.
FlexDesk was a SPFx project (integrated into the Sharepoint Environment of the company) and the code for it was in React.
It also had an Admin Interface that allowed the company to have reports about the occupancy of the company's buildings.

Quark - AI

Quark is the name of a project made with 2 fellow students at school. The goal of this project was to create several types of neurons capable of classifying a given dataset and make linear regressions. We created a simple Perceptron using the gradient descent algorithm as well as the Adaline algorithm. We finally created mono and multi layer neural networks.
The project itself was created with C++ and we created a python library (using our C++ code of course) so that we could use Quark inside of Jupyter Notebook.
