Back to original languageAbout Laurent
I help small teams develop quality software 🚀.
For example, I work for 'early stage' Software as a Service startups with a Python backend (Django, Flask, FastAPI, or other).
Initially an applied mathematics engineer, I now focus on web development (API and frontend).
Depending on the projects, I also enjoy helping the teams I work with become more efficient, particularly by improving the development workflow.
This can mean making tests (much) faster or easier to write, correctly configuring a tool (e.g., webpack), or simply sharing best practices.
I do API development, but also 'software architecture', frontend, and devops when necessary.
Some technologies I have used:
- Flask, Django, Pyramid, gunicorn, uwsgi (also: pytest).
- Celery, RabbitMQ
- Ansible, Nginx
- Go
- Redis, PostgreSQL, MySQL
- ReactJS, VueJS, Angular, Svelte, VanillaJS
- Docker
- AWS, Google Cloud.
- scikit-learn/numpy/pandas for machine learning/data science

- I laid the groundwork for the project alone, then two developers joined me.
- We started from an existing Scala API, the first version of the Python API had to maintain compatibility.
- I worked on certain features specific to mobile applications: notifications for matches the user has subscribed to (Firebase Cloud Messaging), app/universal links, in-app subscriptions.
