'''Hello!'''

My name is '''Jean-Baptiste Kempf''' and [http://www.jbkempf.com my personnal website] explains more who I am.
I am a student in one of the 'Grandes Ecoles', best scientific schools and university in France: the ''[http://www.ecp.fr "Ecole Centrale Paris"]''. 

I also got a ''Master Degree'' in Computer Science from the University of Paris.

I will have pretty soon my degree ''"Ingénieur de l'école Centrale Paris"'', which is also a Master Degree.

I am now an intern in [http://www.st.com STMicroelectronics].


I am working on the VideoLAN project in many aspects for about a year now and I am very much involved, but not only on the devs aspects. 

As a dev, I mostly program Qt4 interface. I also work a lot on contribs and external libraries and [[FourCC]] supports. I have built VLC media player on most possible platform (no BeOS, though).

As a non-dev, I moderate e-mails, worked a lot on this wiki (almost rewritten it with [[User:H2g2bob]]), answer forums and mails, work on the websites and help on IRC. As you can imagine, I do a lot of support.


I am looking for a job, outside France. Interested? :D

jb (at) videolan (d0t) org is my mail, related to VideoLAN.
[http://www.jbkempf.com My Website] (far from being finished) is my website.

Use my talk page to talk to me or give me some TODOs.

I have rewritten a lot of pages on this wiki, and I have more than 1000 edits on this wiki.
