About Mathieu

Tech Lead WordPress, 9 years of experience. I work on complex projects, from steering to building, for media groups, national press, legal publishing, and large industrial clients.

My differentiator:a modern and industrialized WordPress stack using Roots.io Bedrock, headless with Next.js, combined with AI industrialization of development and maintenance workflows, which concretely reduces cycle times and makes projects more efficient.

Where I work:

WordPress CMS:Industrialized WordPress Bedrock architecture: reusable parent theme, client project theme, Timber/Twig templating, Gutenberg/ACF blocks

Hybrid Headless Architectures:WordPress coupled with a Symfony application platform: the CMS manages editorial content, consumed by the application via API, advanced cache management, decoupled front-end with Next.JS/Vue

AI Industrialization:AI standards applied to WordPress projects (rules, skills, agent context, prompt engineering), use of code assistants (Cursor, Claude), code review (human and assisted), automated Lighthouse security and SEO audits, assisted ticket creation and QA, automation of maintenance ticket processing

Project Management:Scoping, estimation, roadmap, backlog prioritization, Steering Committee/Technical Committee arbitration, multidisciplinary team coordination, agile rituals, client reporting

DevOps & QA:GitLab CI/CD, RenovateBot, conventional commits, Deployer, PHP & E2E unit tests

Stack:WordPress Bedrock, PHP, Twig, ACF Pro, Gutenberg React blocks, Symfony, Next.js

My AWS infrastructure:Docker, Traefik, Grafana observability, n8n automation, LiteLLM + Langfuse LLM proxy, Sentry, Renovate, backups

My clients:media and audiovisual groups, national press, legal publishing, listed real estate companies, industry, quality certification associations
