About Julien

I help startups structure their engineering organization when the team grows faster than processes, or when delivery becomes unpredictable.

In 10 years in leadership positions (Head of Engineering, CTO, Engineering Manager), I have built and managed teams of up to 25 engineers in 3 squads, in various contexts: ISO 13485 regulated MedTech at Resilience, hypergrowth at Mirakl, Scrum to Kanban transformation driven by DORA Metrics at Betclic.

What I concretely do:
Diagnose friction points in the organization and delivery. Structure squads, rituals, and product/engineering interfaces.

Recruit and upskill mid-level managers. Implement a remote culture and asynchronous management that lasts.

Integrate AI into development workflows to gain velocity.

I work on a fractional (part-time) or full-time basis, fully remote, with occasional travel if the context requires it.

Former Lead Dev mobile/Kotlin/Node.js, I can technically challenge teams, read an architecture, and detect what's wrong beyond the discourse.
