About Antoine

PHP / Symfony architect and senior technical expert, I have been supporting companies of all sizes (startups, SMEs, large corporations, public sector) for over 21 years to secure, optimize, and structure their web projects.
Founder of Life in the Cloud, I specialize in auditing, software architecture, code quality, and supporting technical teams.

I particularly intervene on projects requiring an independent senior perspective in order to:
• identify technical risks and hidden debt
• improve performance, stability, and maintainability
• structure a robust architecture (DDD, modularity, Symfony 6/7/8)
• optimize SEO, accessibility (RGAA/WCAG), and environmental impact
• implement best practices (testing, CI/CD, quality, security)
• support and upskill existing teams

My approach is pragmatic, pedagogical, and results-oriented: each recommendation is immediately actionable, and my audits are delivered in the form of clear, prioritized reports.

Areas of expertise:
• PHP 7/8, Symfony, Twig, REST/GraphQL APIs
• PostgreSQL, MySQL, distributed caches, performance optimization
• Docker, CI/CD, software quality, security
• Accessibility, SEO/GEO, environmental optimization
• Software architecture (DDD, hexagonal), refactoring, migration

What I offer:
• Short technical audits (1–3 days)
• Scoping & architecture
• Refactoring and optimization of existing projects
• Team mentoring and improvement of technical practices
• Implementation of reliable CI/CD pipelines
• Long-term support as a technical referent

They trusted me:
Prime Minister's Office, DINUM, DGFiP, Airbus, Orange, Solocal (PagesJaunes), Ouest-France, DIR Ouest, ADEME, SMEs and startups.

If you need an expert capable of bringing clarity, stability, and long-term vision to your Symfony/PHP projects, I would be delighted to discuss with you.
