Experience

  • La plateforme de l'inclusion
    Django Fullstack Developer
    PUBLIC SECTOR
    June 2025 - Today (1 year)
    Paris, France
    DORA is one of the digital services within the Inclusion Platform, a French government platform that helps social workers and employment counselors identify and guide beneficiaries to the most appropriate social integration services.

    As a freelance full-stack developer in a two-person team, I contribute to the construction and maintenance of critical features for this high-impact social platform. In a lean and agile environment, I balance practical development and strategic product decisions to maximize value with limited resources.

    Key responsibilities:

    - Develop full-stack features with Django/Python (backend) and Svelte/TypeScript (frontend) for a seamless user experience nationwide.
    - Implement monitoring and error tracking with Sentry to maintain reliability and quickly identify production issues.
    - Investigate and resolve critical bugs while optimizing performance to maintain service continuity.
    - Refactor the Django admin to allow non-technical colleagues to perform data imports autonomously.
    - Make product engineering decisions to prioritize features with maximum impact.
    - Collaborate closely with my development partner to ensure code quality and efficient delivery.
    - Manage deployment and infrastructure with Docker/Scalingo while leveraging Metabase for data insights.

    This small but crucial team helps the French social integration ecosystem function more efficiently to improve employment outcomes for vulnerable populations.

  • Qantev
    Django React Fullstack Developer
    BANKING AND INSURANCE
    December 2024 - March 2025 (3 months)
    Paris, France
    Qantev is a healthtech startup that helps insurers extract and fully leverage the business value of their documents. Founded in 2019, the company has raised over €30 million and serves over 20 clients worldwide.

    Hired as a freelance full stack developer, I was tasked with creating an internal tool from scratch to help sales teams create and manage custom client demos, replacing a manual and time-consuming process based on large local JSON files.

    Working closely with a product manager, I worked autonomously to transform the product vision into a fully deployed solution.

    My responsibilities included:

    Translating high-level product requirements into clear and actionable development tasks.
    Designing and implementing the backend architecture using Python and Django Rest Framework, including PostgreSQL data modeling, with a focus on isolating demo logic from production systems.
    Developing the frontend using React, TypeScript, and Ant Design, based on provided design mockups.
    Coordinating with DevOps to deploy a cloud-based web application using Kubernetes, ensuring data persistence and environment separation.
    When I joined the team, the tool only existed as a rough concept. In three months, Qantev had a fully operational solution that reduced the time required to prepare client demos by more than 50%, while allowing demos to be saved and shared within the sales team.

  • Leboncoin
    React Next Front-end Developer
    E-COMMERCE

    Paris, France
    Leboncoin is one of the largest online classifieds platforms in France, attracting over 28 million unique users each month. The site covers a wide range of sectors, including real estate, vehicles, job offers, and consumer goods.

    As a freelance frontend developer, I joined Leboncoin's advertising team to improve the display and performance of ads on the web platform. My job was to deliver scalable, high-impact features in a high-traffic environment.

    My main responsibilities included:
    - Designing and implementing new ad-related features using Next.js, React, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS, while maintaining high performance standards for millions of daily users.
    - Collaborating with an international team of developers, product managers, and designers to align frontend solutions with evolving business goals.
    - Conducting thorough code reviews to maintain high code quality, prevent regressions, and ensure reliable production deployments.
    - Contributing to complex UI integrations and performance optimization on the web application.
    - Working with Agile methodologies in a fast-paced, metrics-driven environment.
    - Writing clear documentation and explaining new features to technical and non-technical stakeholders to ensure alignment and smooth adoption.

    With a focus on code quality, performance, and maintainability, I helped ensure that the ad serving experience remains fast, flexible, and aligned with revenue goals.
