Back to original languageAbout Benoit
Versatile developer & entrepreneur at heart
Self-taught, curious, and agile, I can master a new framework or technology in a few days. I enjoy designing useful, efficient, and well-thought-out software, taking into account user experience as well as business realities. My goal is always to **create value**, whether for a startup, an SME, or a more structured company.
Thanks to my **entrepreneurial background**, I have a fine understanding of operational, commercial, and strategic issues. I have founded several companies (including a successful wine bar, a web agency, a coworking space, and a real estate company for my property projects), managed teams, supported clients over the long term, and led complex projects from start to finish.
What I particularly enjoy:
- Designing a product **from scratch**: analyzing needs, thinking about architecture, modeling databases, structuring workflows, etc.
- Putting myself in the users' shoes, but also in the shoes of the entrepreneur who will have to make the solution profitable.
- Developing tools myself or supporting a development team in their creation.
- Optimizing existing tools, **automating processes**, creating dashboards or intelligent connectors between systems (SSO, API, etc.).
🛠 My favorite technologies: PHP (Symfony / Laravel), JS (Vue, Node.js), WordPress (custom dev), Prestashop (custom dev), MySQL, LXD, NGINX, Docker, Traefik, etc.
🧰 Self-hosted servers, scalable architecture, container management, intelligent proxies, monitoring: I design and administer my own cloud infrastructures.
Finally, my HPI profile drives me to constantly explore, solve complex problems, and build solutions that are both robust and elegant. I approach projects with enthusiasm, high standards, and a strong ability to step back and gain perspective.
