Back to original languageAbout Jerome
Technical Director & Web Artisan | Fullstack & Eco-design Expert
From teaching C++ to leading e-commerce agencies, my 20+ year journey has been driven by a single obsession: technical excellence serving the user experience.
Today, through my studio Akhela, I support communication agencies and large corporations as a Freelance CTO. I define myself as a web artisan: I favor custom-made solutions and raw performance over bloated frameworks.
🛠 Multi-faceted Expertise
My technical DNA was forged in demanding sectors:
Deep Tech & 3D: Started at Stonetrip (ShiVa3D) for clients like Ubisoft, recognized by Develop magazine among the world's top 30 rising stars in development.
Luxury & Image: Co-founder of Metabolism, a production studio for major Parisian agencies (DDB, McCann, Dagobert) and prestigious houses like Chanel, Nespresso, and Orange.
Precision E-commerce: Co-founder of Alaska, a Symfony/Sylius and Shopify expert for accounts like Volkswagen and Caron.
🌱 Commitment: Performance & Eco-design
I transform complex technical challenges into fluid and sustainable solutions. My current approach focuses on:
Eco-design: Reducing environmental impact without compromising quality.
Optimized Custom Solutions: Advanced mastery of Symfony, WordPress (Gutenberg), Nuxt.js, and Vue.js.
Interoperability: Designing API connectors and complex microservices architectures.
