About Christophe

Backend & cloud developer | Migrations Heroku → GCP / Scaleway and stabilization of Node/Postgres APIs

Fullstack developer oriented backend, I help SaaS and B2B startups in stabilizing, scaling, and migrating their infrastructures. Notably, I led the complete migration of Heroku apps to GCP (Terraform, Kubernetes, Cloud Run, CI/CD) while maintaining a simple developer experience.

I help teams reduce API load, optimize their databases (PostgreSQL), and build more robust architectures, with a focus on performance and availability. I also developed and maintained a tokenization SaaS (Vaulted) to secure sensitive data, which strengthens my credibility on security and data topics.

I ideally collaborate with products focused on performance, customer trust, and scalability, in remote or hybrid mode.

Experience

  • Greenly
    Fullstack Engineer / Lead Developer /Devops
    November 2022 - June 2025 (2 years and 7 months)

    Fullstack multi-team

    At Greenly, I first joined the "free electron" team, dedicated to cross-functional topics and high-impact projects, with a strong focus on performance and stability. I notably led the redesign of the main website, implementing better working methods with a team of freelancers and two internal developers, while improving SEO and overall performance.

    I quickly got up to speed with NestJS to effectively advise technical teams and support architectural choices.

    Fullstack performance

    Migration of heavy processing to an architecture based on queues, to relieve the main API and improve platform stability.

    Lead developer

    Promoted Lead Developer within a team of 4, I supported the migration of a legacy business component to a new system, focusing on reducing API load and better leveraging PostgreSQL. My role was to help the team understand the business logic, propose architectural solutions, and unblock technical issues when necessary.

    Devops

    I single-handedly led the migration of the infrastructure from Heroku to GCP, implementing Terraform, Kubernetes, Cloud Run, GitHub Actions, Cloud Build, and Datadog, with a clear objective: to maintain a simple and fluid developer experience despite a more robust architecture.
    Various security audits revealed no issues with the implemented architecture.

    Stack: Node.js, NestJS, PostgreSQL, BullMQ, Redis, BullMQ, GitHub, GitHub Actions, GCP, Kubernetes, Cloud Run, Cloud Build, Terraform, Datadog.
    Node.js Terraform Google Cloud Datadog Identity and Access Management (IAM)
  • Lucine
    Fullstack Engineer
    March 2022 - November 2022 (8 months)
    At Lucine, I joined a small fullstack team responsible for developing non-virtual reality solutions within the Studio division. I primarily worked on a Go backend and a Vue.js frontend, in an environment where technical rigor and the quality of architectural choices were particularly important.

    I participated in the migration of parts of an old C# API to Go, to simplify maintenance and modernize the technical base. This experience allowed me to work in a context close to the medical field, with strong requirements for reliability, code clarity, and robustness of delivered solutions.

    Stack: Go, Node.js, Vue.js, Mocha, GitLab, GitLab CI.
    Golang Vue.js
  • Flitdesk
    Fullstack Engineer
    October 2019 - March 2022 (2 years and 5 months)
    At Flitdesk, I was in charge of fullstack development on a SaaS platform for flex office and coworking. I worked on both the backend and frontend, acting as a link between product, technical, and architectural matters.

    I contributed to migrating legacy code to more suitable frameworks and a more distributed architecture to better meet client needs. I also participated in the transition of the infrastructure from Heroku to Google Cloud Platform, which provided a more solid foundation for the product's future.

    Faced with performance issues, I designed an architecture and technical adjustments that significantly reduced the impact on the legacy API. In two years, we reduced API response times by about 75%. I also participated in evolving the organization towards a structure better suited to the team and the product.

    Stack: Node.js, NestJS, Next.js, Loopback, GraphQL, JavaScript, TypeScript, Angular, Ionic, Stripe API, Google API, Outlook API, GCP, MongoDB, Terraform.
