General presentation

Hello!

My name Jean-Baptiste Kempf, I am a student in one of the 'Grandes Ecoles', best scientific schools and university in France: the "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 STMicroelectronics.

I am working on the VideoLAN project in many aspects, 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. 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, answer forums and mails, work on the websites and help on IRC. So 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. <a href="http://www.jbkempf.com">My Website</a> (far from being finished) is my website.

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

Wiki

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

Names

I am know under 'j-b', 'jb' on all the VideoLAN Sites
