Back to original languageAbout Baptiste
DeveloperReact/Next.js/TypeScriptsince 2018, I have progressively specialized in a specific area: building robustdesign systemsfor growingSaaSproducts.
It's the "front of the front-end": consistent interfaces,headless components(Base UI),design tokensfaithful to mockups, all documented inStorybookand covered by **e2e tests**.
This is the work that excites me the most, and it's also the most profitable in the long run for avoiding UI technical debt.
Why work with me
I build design systems to last, not to be impressive.
This means clean tokens, truly reusable headless components, exhaustive Storybook documentation, and accessibility considered from the design phase.
I use AI (Cursor, Claude Code) as a production accelerator, not as a substitute for technical judgment: it saves me time on execution, never on architectural decisions.
And when I deliver, I document and explain my choices, so the team can maintain the code after the mission is completed.
Tech Stack
- Core: React, Next.js, TypeScript, Vite, Design system: Base UI, Storybook, design tokens, TailwindCSS
- State & data: TanStack Query, Zod
- Testing: Cypress, Jest, Vitest, Playwright
- Tooling: ESLint, Prettier, Git, Vercel, Husky
Missions sought
I prefer medium or long-term missions on a freelance basis, for SaaS products (complex dashboards, business applications) where a well-built design system has a real impact on team velocity.
I also remain open to e-commerce contexts, particularly on Core Web Vitals and conversion topics.
