Description

Lead / Expert PHP / CTO hands-on, 17 years of experience.

I can help you to:

+ Implement a SOLID and/or DDD software architecture (based on my own robust, end-to-end implementation for skill development).

+ Implement PHP industrialization (complete code workflow, tooling, processes, CI/CD with gitlab-CI and/or Jenkins, git workflow, docker, ansible, ansible-tower, continuous integration, best-practices, artifacts, quality-control).

+ Ensure quality level (pair-programming, Code review, workshops, team skill development).

+ Team builder.

+ Business interface, CEO, executives (understand and translate requests, pre-sales, consulting, intermediation with the technical team, QA, etc.).

+ Implement Agile SCRUM, XP.

+ Recruit and build a team from scratch.

+ Conduct watch, R&D, POC workshops.

+ Migrate your applications (PHP technical stack, symfony, database, data model).

My credo: if you want to succeed in your IT projects and achieve a decent quality, you need three factors:

+ A tech manager with a real vision and a real technical ROADMAP.

+ A team builder who knows how to develop their teams from junior to experienced, support them, make them sustainable, and get them to adhere to a common and shared code standard.

+ Tech/Executive alignment, meaning the executive team is already aware and accepts a certain level of quality in the processes, as a foundation and guarantee of quality products, reliable software, and a loyal, engaged, and motivated team.

On paper, everyone can claim this, but I bring a vision on these three aspects:

1. I have already implemented in my career an example of SOLID code, custom with Design Patterns, in TDD.

2. Supporting a developer is not limited to a PowerPoint or a demo.

3. Processes, tools, performance, velocity, work methods....
