About Axel-Benoit

I develop custom web and SaaS platforms with a product, performance, and user experience-oriented approach.

I assist companies, startups, and project owners in creating, evolving, or optimizing their web applications: backend development, architecture, business features, member area, subscriptions, Stripe payments, APIs, automation, or administration dashboards.

Primarily specialized in the PHP / Symfony ecosystem, I also work with PostgreSQL, Twig, Doctrine, Stripe, REST APIs, and architectures designed to be robust, maintainable, and scalable.

Beyond development, I also bring a product and user vision. As co-founder of the SaaS platform CircleMind, I work daily on concrete issues of:

performance and scalability,
UX and accessibility,
subscription management,
technical SEO,
business automation,
content administration,
neuro-friendly user experience and cognitive load reduction.

I am accustomed to working on:

SaaS platforms,
business applications,
client/member areas,
booking or training systems,
administrator dashboards,
APIs and third-party integrations,
authentication and payment systems,
redesign or improvement of existing projects.

I favor a clear, pragmatic, and results-oriented approach, with particular attention to code quality, maintainability, and the final user experience.
