About Corentin

I take on applications that nobody wants to touch.

Undocumented legacy, vendor left without documentation, exploding response times, code that no one dares to modify anymore: this has been my playground for over 4 years.

Some recent results:

- ⚡API response time divided by 10(audit + refactoring of SQL queries and PHP/Python code)
- ⚡Batch processing time divided by 3(optimization of sorting and aggregation algorithms)
- 🔧Complete takeover of a billing applicationafter the vendor's departure: study, documentation, fixes without side effects.

🖥️Legacy rescue & optimization

- Audit and profiling to identify real bottlenecks
- SQL and application optimization (PHP, Python, JS/TS)
- Taking over, documenting, and stabilizing legacy code
- Corrective and evolutionary maintenance without breaking the existing system

🏗️Product development, from MVP to production

- Backend: PHP (Symfony, Zend/Laminas), Python (FastAPI)
- Frontend: TypeScript, React, SvelteKit, TailwindCSS
- Tests: PHPUnit, Pest, pytest
- Clean Architecture (trained at WealCome & Ancyr Academy)
- Integrations: Stripe (including Connect), Sage, AWS S3, DocuSign
- Queuing: Celery, Redis, RabbitMQ — Docker, CI/CD

🧠Tooling & AI integration

- Integrating AI into your applications
- AI-assisted development daily: I deliver quickly, without sacrificing quality

How I work:

- Fully remote, immediately available
- Time and materials or fixed price, full-time or part-time — I'm used to managing multiple clients in parallel
- Clean, tested, documented code: my goal is for any developer to be able to take over from me
- Professional English
