Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

CTO, Head of Engineering or founder looking for senior reinforcement to deliver — a product to evolve, a backend platform to scale, or an AI integration to calmly frame in your product.

I have 13 years of experience designing and running systems in production. I notably led digital transformation projects at ENGIE, led a team of 6 developers at GRDF in an agile organization of 100 people, then Engineering Manager at NetApp on an Apache Spark / Kubernetes platform that processes 10 million jobs per year on 63 million nodes.

What I can bring you:

Autonomy on a technical subject: I take charge of the design and I deliver.

A dual IC + lead sensibility: I code daily, and I also know how to structure a roadmap, frame a team or support stakeholders when useful.

A current stack: Python, TypeScript, FastAPI, React, Next.js, Kubernetes, AWS serverless, with a particular interest at the moment in LLM integration and agentic architectures (LangChain, LangGraph).

What characterizes me:

I have worked in very diverse environments — large industrial groups, early-stage product, mature cloud platform. I try to draw a pragmatic approach from this: understand the context before proposing, and dose the complexity according to what the project can really carry.

Types of missions I undertake:

Backend development (APIs, microservices)
Frontend development (React, Next.js)
AI / LLM integration into products or internal workflows
Technical lead and team support
Cloud infrastructure (AWS)

Based in Marseille, available remotely or occasionally on-site.
