Back to original languageAbout Nicolas
Experienced back-end developer for over 15 years, I initiated a few years ago a redesign of my professional approach: TDD, clean code, hexagonal architecture, and CI/CD are the watchwords.
Constantly training in these areas, I can work on greenfield or legacy projects, including in a transition towards clean architecture.
Specialized in Python and PHP (Symfony), I have been training in Rust for 2 years (trained by the French reference Cénotélie) with the goal of eventually working primarily with this language, if possible in systems programming.
Very comfortable both in writing and speaking, I perceive the developer's work as being at the confluence of business and commerce. I can also position myself in this way, depending on the type of mission.
My main daily sources of inspiration: Robert C. MARTIN (Uncle Bob), Martin FOWLER, Kent BECK, but also Michael AZERHAD or Valentina JEMUMOVIC.
Full remote since 2011, I am fully accustomed to this mode of operation, its advantages, and its pitfalls.
