Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Hervé
Software architect since 2001. I integrate generative AI into my craft practice to deliver custom apps 3 to 5 times faster, without sacrificing quality.
FOR WHOM
Project teams, SME and VSE managers (1 to 50 employees) who:
- are stifled by generic, ill-fitting SaaS
- have received agency quotes of €50K+ that block them
- want a business tool that fits their processes
- are looking for a single, senior point of contact who delivers quickly and will be there every step of the way.
- want to do ultra-specific development without spending a fortune.
WHAT I DELIVER
Private SAAS, custom software, internal tools, automations, dashboards, B2B SaaS, technical refactors, I deliver an economic asset for you.
Example of a modern and sustainable stack: Next.js, React, Tailwind, TypeScript, NestJS, Prisma, PostgreSQL, Vercel or VPS, GitHub Actions. Automated tests, hexagonal architecture, documentation.
No disposable code. No no-code dependency. No hidden debt.
HOW I WORK
1. Discovery Sprint (3 to 5 days): mockups + specs + fixed-price quote. You know what you're buying before committing.
2. Fixed price, not time and materials. Milestone payments 40 / 30 / 30.
3. Iterative delivery with weekly demos.
4. Deployment, training, documentation, 30 days of support included.
5. Optional maintenance (quoted separately).
WHY ME
25 years in software engineering + dual role as a professional coach. I'm not a junior copy-pasting AI: I know when it's wrong, why, and how to frame it. That's the difference between a POC that fails and a product that lasts.
WE CAN TALK IF
- You have an idea but no specs: we start with a Discovery Sprint.
- You have a requirements document: fixed-price quote within 48 hours.
- You want to see AI applied to development: free 30-min call + demo, process, workflow, and results.
