Key Expertise

About me

Passionated about web development and code in general, blockchain enthusiast, UX lover, I like designing and working on new and complex systems that result in a beautiful user experience.

I've been self taught in development since the age of 14 but, always curious, I spent a year in art school before going back to the tech side, where I graduated from Cifacom with a Project Manager diploma in 2013.

I then co-founded my first startup CoHoop, before joining Le Wagon as lead teacher in 2014 while working as a freelancer and accompanying students in their projects.

This journey and all these experiences gave me a great product & design sensitivity, as well as a very versatile set of skills.

In 2018 I joined Poi Network, a decentralised network using Blockchain technology to boost the advent of the impact economy, as CTO, designing the protocol's architecture as well as conceiving & developing multiple products before leaving to follow my own path in late 2019.

I then spent 2 years honing my front-end skills at Shadow (React / Typescript) while also working on my most recent side-projects: https://wolcen-universe.com/, https://chronicondb.com/ and https://www.dysonsphereblueprints.com/ to name a few (and yes, those are all video games related, if a game is good I need to spend more time creating a tool for it than playing it, I just can't help it 🤷‍♀️)

Following this experience, I joined HappyPal as a fullstack developer for half a year, working on the reboot of their platform, first as a front-end developer (React / GraphQL) and then, for the remaining of my mission as a back-end developer (NestJS / GraphQL), working on the integration of all 3rd party tools and communication system (mailing, notifications, automated creation of newsletters for our clients…) as well as developing new functionalities and stabilizing the existing application.

I am also usually quite active on github, if you want to take a look there.

I am currently available as a freelance full-stack developer and am open to propositions 🚀
