About Jérome

I intervene in startups that need a senior backend or an experienced manager with a short deadline.

10 years in tech, including 4 in management. I have supervised up to 13 developers across 3 squads in parallel, and built various backends (fintech, education, events) from scratch to production.

Three types of assignments:

- Temporary replacement. Departure, leave, transition. I take over a backend team or scope, operational in the first week, documented handover at the end.

- Product launch. Scoping, architecture, development, go-live. End-to-end TypeScript stack: NestJS, Next.js, PostgreSQL. The code is taken over by your future hires, no dependency on the service provider.

- Transition management. Team structuring, delivery, recruitment of the first developers. Then I step back.

On the AI side: I integrate LLMs and agents into production (MCP servers, agents). Useful if it's in your roadmap.

Based in Nice. Remote or hybrid in PACA. Quick start.

  • Master degree "Europe-Asia International Business"
    Ecole de Management Bretagne Atlantique
    2013
    Isuga is a business school focused on Asia. I learned business basics like marketing, sales, finance, accounting or management but always including Asia : case studies on Asia, analysis on Asian markets and market trends, supplemented by classes on Asian culture and societies. In addition, I had Japanese classes everyday and I also started to learn Korean during my last school year in Isuga. Finally, the main added value of this school was the several months I spent in Japan. I lived and went to school in Japan for one semester every year.
