    March 2026 - Today (5 months)
    Toulouse, France
    I am supporting Andy Legal in the design, structuring, and scaling of their multi-tenant SaaS platform for law firms. My role: transforming complex business needs into ultra-robust, maintainable, and secure backend architectures (Django / DRF).

    Key achievements:
    • AlexPay (Payments): End-to-end design and development of a complete payment module. Integration of Stripe Connect and Stripe Elements, secure webhook management, and automation of business financial workflows.
    • AlexCorporate (Refactoring & Modularity): Complete extraction and isolation of a critical module (previously coupled with 3 legacy applications) to secure and ensure the reliability of complex share capital and securities management.
    • Multi-Provider Electronic Signature: Integration of DocuSign and YouSign with per-firm OAuth flow management (multi-tenant) and dynamic signature webhook routing.

    Technical & Delivery Approach:

    • Architecture: Transition to a service-oriented architecture (dedicated services & querysets) to eliminate technical debt and isolate business logic.
    • Quality & Reliability: Design of documented REST APIs (OpenAPI/Swagger) and a strict automated testing culture to ensure non-regression on sensitive legal and financial data.

  • Donecle
    Backend Developer
    AVIATION AND AEROSPACE
    September 2025 - February 2026 (5 months)
    Toulouse, France
    I designed and deployed the environment for the multi-service Django application `cloud_dev_app` for Donecle, integrating multi-stage containerization and Docker Compose services managing the entire backend stack (database, cache, tasks, web servers, Django). Concurrently, I developed `iris_web`, Donecle's first Django application to leverage Django REST Framework (DRF), a strategic move for the sustainable industrialization of the solution.

    My main contributions include:

    *Advanced Dockerization:I designed 'multi-stage' Docker builds to optimize image size and efficient dependency management, ensuring smooth deployment of the Django `RestServer` project. This included integration with enterprise Docker registries and automation of SSL certificate provisioning.

    *Flexible Deployment Architecture:I developed a robust deployment system supporting both Apache and Nginx web servers, offering adaptability for various production environments.

    *Multi-Tenant Database Design:I implemented a sophisticated database routing mechanism within the `iris_web` application, enabling dynamic data separation and management for multiple clients.

    *RESTful API Development:I designed and built a suite of secure and efficient APIs with Django REST Framework (DRF) for `iris_web`, covering critical functionalities such as authentication, aircraft management, and Areas of Interest (AOI).

    *Rigorous API Testing:I established a comprehensive `pytest` framework for `iris_web`'s APIs, ensuring high reliability and data integrity through automated testing of essential features.
