About Adrien

Fullstack Developer with over 10 years of experience, specializing in the design and development of demanding web and mobile applications, from hyper-growth startups to large enterprises.

My core expertise: modern frontend (React, React Native, TypeScript), with a solid backend foundation (Node.js, PHP) and a rigorous architectural approach (Clean Architecture, DDD, micro-frontend). I don't just deliver working code; I deliver code that lasts.

What sets me apart:

- Comprehensive testing expertise (Jest, RTL, Cypress, Playwright, Vitest) enabling confident deployments without regressions.
- Mature CI/CD practices (GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, trunk-based development) for short and reliable delivery cycles.
- Ability to handle legacy system refactoring: I have migrated several aging systems to modern architectures while maintaining product continuity.
- Product sensibility and natural collaboration with design, backend, and business teams.
- Active use of generative AI (Claude, Cursor) in my workflow to increase velocity without sacrificing quality.
- Passion for knowledge sharing: I have mentored junior developers in various teams on stack, practices, and engineering posture.

I have worked in diverse contexts: regulated fintech (Nickel, several million users), large enterprise B2B SaaS (Edflex, BuyCo), multi-client digital agency (Dernier Cri), and environmental impact (Smartway). This diversity allows me to quickly adapt to any business context and become autonomous on a new codebase.

I am available for remote freelance missions or in Nantes. If you are looking for an engineer who is genuinely invested in your product's success, not just a service provider executing tickets, let's talk.
