About Julien

Is your site slow and you don't know how to fix it? Are you wondering what budget to allocate to performance? I can support you by offering:

- Audit: understand where you stand and analyze areas for improvement
- Monitoring: implementation of tools that allow you to truly understand the experience of your users, correlation with business impact, monitoring of regressions, implementation of performance budgets
- Development: fixing your performance issues so you can start from a healthy foundation
- Training: mentoring your teams to build a performance culture and make you autonomous afterwards

I offer these services with a commitment to providing a pragmatic, data-driven, and transparent vision. My primary goal is to build a solid foundation with you, enabling you to prioritize and fix short-term slowdowns (e.g., before a key date for your company), while also providing you with the tools to maintain good long-term performance.

I have built this expertise by working for over 9 years in the e-commerce sector, which is particularly demanding in terms of Web Performance.

Finally, whether your stack is in React, Svelte, or simply uses no framework, I can adapt to it, as the analysis processes are generic.

Excellent experience with Julien. Extremely precise work and very clear communication, far from previous experiences we've had on web performance topics. Julien helped us clearly define what we needed, and was able to identify and prioritize all the points we needed to work on to achieve our performance goals. Are you looking for a REAL web performance expert? You can go with him with your eyes closed.
