About Jonathan

Passionate about software development since the age of 12, I was propelled into the hyper-growth digital product ecosystem by creating a dinosaur breeding game called Dino Gaia at the age of 16, using only the family's shared computer.

Massively adopted upon its release, Dino Gaia quickly reached 1 million monthly visits less than a year after its creation, with growing revenue each month, for a game that would total tens of millions of messages exchanged between players.

This experience forced me, very early on, to think about all the digital products and systems under my responsibility in a robust and scalable way. I also learned to adapt very quickly to technological, business, and regulatory constraints. Following this adventure, I have always remained in the world of startups and technology companies.

Since then, I have joined or participated in the creation of several startups or scale-ups in different industries (VTC, FinTech, gaming, LegalTech) as a contributor or manager (Director, VP Engineering, CTO) at various levels of technological stacks: back-end, front-end, native mobile, APIs, cloud infrastructures.

I offer my services as a VP Engineering or CTO on demand:

━ CTO or VP Engineering as a service, long-term or temporarily until you recruit your own

━ Support on technological vision, team organization, implementation of best practices, scaling of teams and technological solutions

━ Transition Manager (Engineering Manager, Director of Engineering, VP of Engineering, CTO)

━ Coaching of your tech managers on people management issues, conducting one-on-one interviews, implementing management best practices (360 Feedback, Career Framework)

━ Audit for fundraising, reorganization, or acceleration purposes
