About Guillaume

I've seen digital products slow down because no one documented why. Why this stack. Why this convention. Why this component existed next to another almost identical one.

When a multi-product scale-up accelerates, complexity creeps in unnoticed: duplication, scattered UI decisions, dependency on 1-2 key people. The code runs, but consistency walks out with those who maintained it.

I step in as a Transition Lead Frontend to structure what's not yet visible: explicit conventions, ADR (Architecture Decision Records), governance, knowledge transfer on Design Systems when it's the main concern, or across the entire frontend scope when it's broader.

My goal: for your team to be able to run the system without me in 6 months.

Currently at Boiron Digital (Lead Front multi-projects).
Previously: ENGIE (Design System), Rubix (Design System + e-commerce redesign), ENER-PACTE, Lelivrescolaire, and 10+ teams supported on React, Next.js, Web Components.

Objective: transform the frontend into an accelerator, not a constraint.

    React Lead on the Cross-Functional Design System
    ENERGY AND UTILITIES
    February 2024 - March 2026 (2 years and 1 month)
    Paris, France
    Context
    Large energy group (~95,000 employees). 2-year mission (Feb 2024 - Mar 2026). Goal: unify 50+ group digital applications on a cross-functional Design System covering React, Angular, and Web Components.

    Missions & Impacts
    • React Lead within the Design System team (5-7 people: 3 devs + designers + PM).
    • 10+ cross-functional components delivered over time — buttons, modals, forms, navigation.
    • 10+ consuming teams supported in adopting the DS.
    • Implementation of Playwright visual tests in CI → 20-25% reduction in UI bugs in production.
    • Figma Code Connect integration: mockups push to code, reduced friction between designers/devs.
    • Systematic ADRs for structuring choices (variants, tokens, accessibility, naming).
