easyCDD is a service that allows the drafting of fixed-term employment contracts in an accompanied manner. The site also has several calculators and assistants helping the user in the drafting process (calculation of trial period, waiting period, etc.).

Initially based on an old version of eZ Publish and Symfony 3.4, the site has not undergone a major redesign, neither in terms of design nor in technical terms, for several years.

The redesign therefore involves a complete migration of the application and data to a stack including Ibexa 4.6, Symfony 5.4 LTS, Tailwind CSS and docker for the infrastructure aspect.

All functionalities are rewritten from scratch to avoid any technical debt related to old components or obsolete dependencies, and to take advantage of new functionalities or development techniques.

The system reconstructs a dynamic form from a YAML configuration file, allowing the client to easily update their system without calling on the developer (the site has 12 different complex forms with more than 50 specific fields). It allows, after payment, to generate a PDF document.

Several connectors will allow users to connect: Login/Magic Link, login/password, OAuth (Google, Azure, etc).

Development of a space dedicated to Cetim's customers to manage their contact information, communication preferences, password, and creation of requests / contacts via the Microsoft Dynamics API.

On the front office side, the user connects through a home OIDC (Open ID Connect) proxy allowing to extend the functionalities of the identity provider (HelloID) before redirecting the client to the application.

The user can then interact with the Microsoft Dynamics CRM to update their personal information, or create contact requests (via the CRM's "incidents") by adding attachments that are sent to Sharepoint.

In terms of technologies used:

- Framework: Symfony 6.4 LTS

- Front: Stimulus and some Symfony UX components + Flowbite and Tailwind CSS

- Back: MariaDB, Redis, RabbitMQ

- Connectors: OIDC, API MS Dynamics 9.2 and Sharepoint

The HTML/CSS cut was partly done by myself from Figma mockups.

Challenges met: optimized and fluid user experience despite the slowness of the MS Dynamics API. Use of deferred calls via Stimulus controllers, or queuing of RabbitMQ for processing with failover for certain functionalities (such as sending attachments to SharePoint).

Technical design entirely carried out by me, as well as all the automated deployment aspect via Gitlab CI and Ansible on a "home" infrastructure based on docker.

Warner Music France is one of my historical clients as a freelancer. In addition to ensuring the maintenance and development of new sites based on eZ Publish or eZ Platform for the most recent ones, I participate in the entire site manufacturing chain:

- support and advice to the internal MOA / MOE

- relationship with internal project managers and artists

- technical interface with other providers (DNS, hosts, ...)

- hosting and managed services for eZ sites

- devOps, continuous integration and migration of hosting (4 migrations in 10 years)

- migration of the application core (eZ and Symfony framework)

- internal training

I currently maintain more than thirty sites for this client.
