About Clément

Are you launching a B2B SaaS and technology is holding you back: degrading performance, each new feature taking longer to implement, the roadmap slipping.

My job -> get the product back on track, without rewriting everything.

— 👥 For whom —
B2B SaaS founders, often non-technical, who want a senior perspective without hiring a CTO at €120k/year.

— 🎯 Types of missions —
  • Product Diagnosis (3-5 d): architecture, code, delivery, team audit → prioritized action plan
  • Fixed-price Remediation: we address the 2-3 urgent issues from the diagnosis
  • Part-time CTO (1-2 d/week): long-term tech leadership, architectural choices, vendor supervision
  • SaaS Launch: scoped MVP, delivered to production in 3-4 months

— 💼 Main reference —

Numerize (4 years 5 months) → Official title "Project Manager / Lead Dev", actual role Tech Lead then de facto CTO for the last 3 years (B2B DMS Gedzilla):
  • 0 → ~300 paying users supported in production without degradation (limit raised from ~20 concurrent users timing out)
  • Document retrieval: 40s + systematic timeouts → stable sub-second
  • 14 modules delivered in 33 months (1 release / 6 weeks), fully automated deployment pipeline vs ~2h+ manual
  • Generative AI in production for 300 users/day (ranking + metadata extraction via GPT) — not a POC, versioned model without interruption
  • 4.5 years in production, 0 major security incidents — GDPR, WAF/CORS, CVE/SSRF fixes, major migrations (PHP/Laravel) without regression
  • 15 people managed (interns → permanent employees), up to 5-6 in parallel, all recruitments handled
Stack: TypeScript, React, Node, Laravel/PHP, AWS, Docker, GitLab CI, OpenAI / Claude API, AI agents

— 📞 When to call me —
  • Your MVP is in production but technical debt is already slowing you down
  • You're hesitating to hire a CTO, not enough volume for it
  • You have a vendor delivering poorly, you want an external opinion before cutting ties
  • You're preparing a funding round, you want to de-risk the tech side
