Welcome to my portfolio!

My name is Christophe PICHON, and I am a Solutions Architect. After starting my career in France, where I was born, I am now based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

Here, I will showcase some projects I have worked on in the past, share some technical tips , and present ideas related to implementing architectural solutions.

I am a seasoned back-end developer with over 25 years of experience in Java. Throughout my career, I have taken on roles as a technical architect and solutions architect across various functional domains, including banking, healthcare, and transportation. In addition to my technical expertise, I have significant experience in hiring and presales. I am passionate about agile methodologies, particularly Scrum and the DevOps approach. Constantly eager to learn, I take great pleasure in sharing my knowledge with junior teams. I thrive on solving challenging problems and delivering innovative solutions.
