Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

With over 20 years of experience, I work as a Tech Lead and Lead Java Backend Dev on microservices architectures hosted in the cloud.

Java and Spring Boot expert, I design and manage robust backend solutions deployed on AWS (EC2, EKS, RDS, S3) with modern CI/CD pipelines (Kubernetes, ArgoCD, Terraform). Certified AWS Solutions Architect Associate since 2023.

Throughout my assignments, I have demonstrated a strong adaptability by working with languages of very different paradigms: Java (my primary language), Scala (functional programming at Canal+), and Go (distributed systems at TF1). This versatility allows me to quickly integrate into varied technical environments and bring a broad perspective to architectural choices.

I have worked in teams of 6 to 15 developers at TF1, Ekwateur, and Canal+, with a strong focus on code quality (Clean Code, Code Review, Pair Programming) and the skill development of junior developers.

I am currently complementing my profile by developing skills in React and Next.js, with a personal project underway, which allows me to take on front-end tasks and eventually mentor front-end developers in a full-stack team.

Available in Paris and full remote.
