About Kevin

Software engineer, 8 years of experience including 3 as a freelancer.Graduate of EPITA.

I design and develop web applications, from new products to taking over existing systems. I am comfortable with topics ofscalabilityand systems that need to handle load.

What I've done:
  • SaaS for luxury (3 years, technical lead): Used by brands from the LVMH and Puig groups. I scaled the architecture from less than 200 requests per second to 10,000, to absorb Kakao message campaigns sent to several hundred thousand clients at once. I was responsible for the product from architecture to production, and I acted as a technical consultant in meetings with the C-level executives of these brands. The product was sold for several hundred thousand euros per year, to clients who do not tolerate downtime.
  • Meal delivery application: PHP and React Native. Real-time with real users behind it: order management, dispatch, scaling during peak service.
  • Payment engineer (Node.js): PSP integration, failure management, retries, reconciliation, idempotence.
  • Legacy takeover: Notably a database migration on a PHP application in production, without service interruption.
How I work:

I integrate into an existing team, with its tools, processes, and constraints. I ask questions at the beginning so I don't have to ask too many later, and I deliver continuously rather than disappearing for three weeks.

**Stack**: Node.js, NestJS, PHP, React, React Native, PostgreSQL, MySQL, AWS.


Fully remote from South Korea.The time difference is managed: I organize myself to have maximum overlap hours with the team, even if it means working in the evening to cover the European day. I attend team meetings and am available during your working hours. We will set up the slots at the start according to the team's rhythm.

    June 2021 - August 2025 (4 years and 2 months)

    Single-handedly managed the development of a mobile app used by celebrities in Korea and by thousands of fans.
