Work Together

About me

After graduating Telecom Paristech in 2010, the top French IT engineering school, I took my first working-experience in IT consulting. Two years later, I left it there to come back to my early passion: the Web. This is how I became a web developer.

Since then, I cofounded Copass, I taught Ruby-on-Rails at Le Wagon and took part to several projects doing freelance or personally. I also like to write when I have things to say.

My Résumé

Expertise

CTO as a Service

Building a startup without a CTO? I’ll assist you on building your MVP, receiving tech advices, or hiring someone.

-

Fullstack MVP Development

Avoid having too many people to talk to, take on that does it all!
-

Tech Architecture

What techno should I use? Where to host my app? How many servers? What backup frequency? Wow that many questions already!
-

Entrepreneurship best practices

What media to follow? What event to attend? Who's in the field?
-

Hiring a good dev

Finding the right person is not easy. I have tests and interview questions ready to challenge a candidate.

Front-end Development

I can build complex web applications as well as good looking and responsive interfaces from a simple graphic design.

-

HTML/CSS

Basic Web Languages do make your browser alive.
-

Typescript

It is such a great please to use such a powerful syntax in the frontend.
-

React

The most popular frontend framework, which deserves its reputation.
-

Vue

React main's opponent. Has some very interesting use cases.
-

UX/Design/Integration

I like to build beautiful products. I can create a beautiful and functional interface from a static design.

Back-end Development

I like working with NodeJS, and have a deep expertise with Ruby-on-Rails that I taught at Le Wagon. On the DB side, I like both SQL and NoSQL for their own qualities.

-

Ruby-on-Rails

Many startups and freelancers choose Rails for its efficiency and their many open-source librairies.
-

Node.js

Server-side javascript (in addition to the client-side). Very flexible, hence good for small hacky apps.
-

Elixir

Built on the Erlang VM, this functional language shines for highly concurrent and fault-tolerant apps. Its Phoenix framework feels a lot like Rails.
-

Python

This language is often used as an alternative to Ruby, and by many academics for its clean of style.
-

PHP

Most popular server side language in the early 00's. I don't like it, but I can still work with it.
-

PostgreSQL

THE SQL database system.
-

MongoDB

The most common NoSQL database system.
-

MySQL

Older and less powerful than PostgreSQL, this DB system remains used around.

Ethics

Like several of my peers, I am an idealist who wishes to live according to my own values. Being a freelancer allows me to have an opinion on the content of a contract. It is important for me that I believe in your project:

It is useful to the world: eg. it has a positive social or environmental impact, or simply brings value or newness to its users. Profit can be a mean, but isn’t an end.
It can be successful: otherwise paycheck is the only motivation, which is dry and makes client relationships unhealthy.

Of course, we all have contradictions, and I am very open to talking.
