Hello! Clojure is my first professional programming language (since about 1.5). I like Clojure---the language and community---a lot (especially #off-topic in the Slack :). I've helped organise IN/Clojure a few times (inclojure.org) and written and taught our introductory Clojure workshop at IN/Clojure and elsewhere.

Obviously, I also really like the Functional Programming principles that I've learned via Clojure, and use them in all the things!

As of 2026, I'm building a solo business around my brain / interests / capabilities / life experience. Three projects at this time.
1. A remote "Writing for Nerds" workshop.
2. Building a SaaS application for Literary Magazines (built with my 'poor man's bitemporal data system' as well as 'multiproject' Clojure monorepo software architectures).
3. "Office of CTO" support for the discerning CTO and/or Founder, viz. the one wanting to eval/apply Clojure ecosystem technology for their business (data systems, backends, tools, architectures).

Leslie Martinich, a computer scientist who began her career writing operating systems, APIs, and advanced communication software, led her team to deliver the first commercial version of Remote Procedure Calls (RPC), ground-breaking technology allowing developers to create parallel and distributed programs. Her early work in Artificial Intelligence laid the groundwork for today's breakthroughs.

In the middle of her career, she made a pivotal realization: project failures weren't due to technical hurdles, but rather rooted in managerial and leadership challenges. Determined to rectify this deficiency, she built leadership programs which she presented across 6 continents (sorry, Antarctica!), focused on innovation and preparing effective leaders.

Leslie peppers her talks with stories from her career, real stories, hilarious stories, that developers relate to. She engages the audience with activities that they'll remember long after the talk. She cares deeply about the careers of her colleagues and friends; that’s why she helps leaders learn how to improve their skills in engagement, communication, and trust. Engaged, trusted leaders inspire teams, reduce turnover, deliver, and drive towards excellence in quality. And that’s a win!

Philippe possède une expérience solide de plus de 10 ans en tant que Coach Agile d’Entreprise et de plus 20 ans en tant que Développeur et Team Leader Agile principalement en salles de marchés. Il a contribué à plusieurs programmes d'agilité à l'échelle. Il sait comment catalyser une véritable agilité grâce à son expérience.

En effet l'agilité souffre actuellement d'un trop grand investissement dans les structures organisationnelles et les pratiques associées. Un rééquilibrage est possible si nous redonnons du pouvoir à l'humain, à notre capacité à ressentir et à surtout créer du sens, et à nous relier en tant que systèmes humains afin de favoriser la collaboration et de faire émerger des solutions innovantes et adaptatives.

Pour cela, Philippe s'est formé au coaching systémique ORSC™ en 2023 (Coaching Systémique pour les Organisations et les Relations). Il a expérimenté cette approche lors de ses missions et plus particulièrement lorsqu'il a travaillé avec des managers et leurs équipes en tant que facilitateur d'équipes. Il est certifié ORSC depuis juillet 2025 après avoir été mentoré et supervisé pendant un an sur ses compétences et ses interventions en tant que coach systémique. Pour compléter son expérience du métier de coach, il s'est formé également à Co-Active (coaching individuel) qu'il pratique régulièrement.

Il s'est également formé pendant des années à l'accompagner d'équipes agiles à tous les niveaux d’une organisation et à faire évoluer leur leadership (individuel et collectif). Il a démontré son approche aussi bien avec des équipes Produit dans le Digital que managériales. En faisant grandir le leadership à différents niveaux d’une organisation, ses clients bénéficient de structures plus performantes alignées avec la culture et la stratégie de l’entreprise.

Philippe est également traducteur du livre d'une des co-fondatrices d'ORSC : "Systems Inspired Leadership" / "Leadership inspiré par les systèmes".
