About Michael

Passionate since 2004, Craft expert since 2011, a true influencer with over 31,000 followers on LinkedIn.

I help developers and tech teams to sustainably elevate their level through three complementary levers:

🎓 Training (Qualiopi)
TDD, Clean Architecture, DDD, BDD Training – adapted for juniors and highly experienced seniors.
➤ +2,500 trained, enthusiastic feedback, impactful and transformative training.
➤ Objective: to trigger lasting breakthroughs, not just transmit concepts.

🤝 Team Coaching & Mentoring
Accompanying teams on real projects, in pairs or mob programming, to implement best practices and foster autonomy.
➤ Specialty: making TDD feel real and concretely improving productivity.

🔍 Code & Architecture Audit
Structured audit (reading, written report, presentation) with actionable recommendations.
➤ Clear, precise vision, without unnecessary jargon.
➤ Focus on invisible debt, fragile architectures, and concrete opportunities for refactoring or optimization.

Full Stack with true Front & Back expertise (Java, Kotlin, TypeScript, PHP, C#, Scala, Swift, etc.), I always intervene with high standards, rigor, and recognized pedagogy.
My approach is guided by 18 years of reflection combining field experience, reading, teaching, and feedback.
All this, with lucid and assumed pragmatism, far from fleeting trends.

I have always believed that doing things well makes you MUCH faster in the SHORT term; let me prove it to you!

  • WealCome
    Trainer recognized in TDD and Clean Architecture for individuals and professionals seeking to learn coding according to best practices
    EDUCATION AND E-LEARNING
    March 2015 - Today (11 years and 3 months)
    Paris, France
    Aware of the rarity of skills in TDD and Clean Architecture (Hexagonal Architecture); I have been providing training for some time now for 10 hours (or more as needed) in these methodologies via video conference or on-site.

    Why these methodologies? Because they are absolutely ESSENTIAL for creating software or applications that make sense; testable, easily scalable, refactorable at will without fear, and that foster the joy of coding.
    Without forgetting the most obvious advantage: tenfold productivity!

    These trainings are very successful for individuals, freelancers, and companies and are applicable in any programming environment (Web / Desktop / Backend).

    To date, over 700 developers (including very senior ones with 10+ years of experience) have been trained, and WealCome, my company, is Qualiopi certified.

    The feedback is so sensational that I created a Slack group with a large number of developers (over 2300 to date) who are aware of Craftsmanship, with the sole aim of supporting their progress.

We worked with Michael on our data security solution using the Factom Blockchain protocol. More specifically, Michael helped us transition from an alpha version to an industrial version on which we can properly capitalize future code implementations. Michael is highly recognized in his field (TDD) and has proven to us that this recognition is deserved. Highly recommendable.
