Yannick joined the Odoo team in 2014 as a Product Owner. During this time, he worked on the business flows of all the applications and on usability tasks in order to clean views, reduce flow complexity, and improve the onboarding and software learning experiences. He worked on the code, the specifications, and the functional reviews.

After a while, he decided to be a full-time developer in the /dev/null team and worked on bigger projects like the codebase migration to a new API, new integration modules (like TaxCloud), usability improvements (menu items search bar on the app switcher), module refactorings (expense, sign, marketing automation, base automation, ...) or even the salary package configurator.

He is now leading the RD Vidange team in which 25 developers manage the continuous improvement and the new features on three different functional scopes:

- HR applications (recruitment, payroll, time off, expenses, fleet management, appraisals, referrals, attendances, ...)
- Misc applications (subscriptions, calendar (+ Google/Microsoft integrations), electronic signatures, data cleaning, ...)
- Services applications (helpdesk, planning, forecasting, projects management, timesheets, field service management (FSM), ...)
