Julien Lecomte’s Blog

My name is Julien Lecomte, and this is my personal weblog. I write mainly about my technical interests, including operating system development and web technologies.

I am currently an engineer on Yahoo!’s DHTML Evangelist team, a group that provides architectural assistance to Yahoo! developers on the design and implementation of rich interactions in the browser, working alongside Douglas Crockford, Bill Scott and Iain Lamb (co-founder of OddPost) Among other things, I worked extensively on Yahoo! Mail, wrote the YUI Browser History Manager and the YUI Compressor, and contributed to many different projects including Yahoo! Search and Yahoo! Calendar.

Prior to working at Yahoo, I was a senior software engineer at Scalix (now part of Xandros), where I spent a couple of years developing their web client. Prior to joining Scalix, I was a software engineer at easyplanet where I worked on a consumer VoIP application based on the OpenH323 library.

During my spare time, I like to run on trails, practice amateur astronomy, work on my hobby operating system — Simplix — enjoy some good wine and foods, and travel to exotic destinations with my beautiful wife.

In 2001, I obtained a Master’s degree in computer science from Supelec, a leading engineering institute in France.
