About Anthony

Lead Tech Backend Java / Spring Boot, I design and ensure the reliability of enterprise applications and I help teams mature technically.

My specialty is back Java (Spring Boot, Hibernate, Maven), with the experience of having also worked on the front-end (React, Next.js, Angular, Lit) and mobile (React Native). This versatility allows me to communicate with front-end developers, DevOps, and architects, and to consider the information system as a whole.

I attach particular importance to the quality and clarity of code: good test coverage, documentation, code reviews to standardize code among developers, adherence to best practices and clean code — but above all, the pursuit of simplicity, avoiding complexity for its own sake. My work consists primarily of delivering a stable and easy-to-maintain product to my clients.

Beyond code, I enjoy industrialization: ensuring the reliability of CI/CD, tooling for quality (SonarQube, Liquibase, load testing), establishing review processes. I drive simplification and standardization of the application landscape, as well as migrating legacy applications to a modern stack, and I know how to lead a team, even during a crisis.

A good communicator, I enjoy teamwork and being proactive. I work as a freelancer through my EURL. If you are looking for a Lead Tech back who can deliver, structure quality, and develop a team, I would be delighted to discuss your project.

It was a real pleasure to work with Anthony. He contributed significantly to the team's growth, bringing more structure, etc... Anthony is very pedagogical, involved, passionate about his job, and it shows daily. He likes to understand, challenge, transmit, "demystify". He is methodical, organized, proactive. It is with pleasure that we would call on Anthony again if the need arose. A big thank you for all that you have brought us. We wouldn't be here without you.
