About Louis

15+ years of experience building and running software for enterprises and startups with a strong focus on quality and simplicity.


My core principles regarding technology are to reduce complexity and to aim for radical simplicity. I believe that it is very easy to fall into the trap of over-engineering a product, while it is hard to keep it simple. It is therefore my responsibility to constantly work towards simplification. It is a key ingredient to reduce operational costs in the long run, both for your clients and your own organization.


In order to achieve that, I will:
- Understand your domain
- Strive for simplicity and always fight complexity / over-engineering
- Continuously improve the developers life by removing pain points in their workflow / tools
- Be pragmatic and always aim for a working / tested solution, then iterate from there

Technology stack:
- Ruby on Rails
- Javascript
- Hotwire
- Stimulus
- HTML/CSS
- Minitest
- Linux
- Docker

I have also shipped and maintained Go, React and React Native apps.

Practices:
- Agile
- Test Driven Development
- Continuous Integration
- Refactoring
- Performance / UX optimization
- Code auditing

Past positions:
- Lead frontend and/or backend developer
- CTO

I can help you to improve:
- Quality
- Testing
- Delivery pipeline
- Developer productivity
- Tools
- Frontend/backend performance
