  • LesFurets

    BANKING AND INSURANCE
    August 2023 - February 2025 (1 year and 6 months)
    Paris, France
    LesFurets is an online insurance comparator.

    As an Architect reporting to the CTO, I:
    - Audited the historical monolith,
    - Proposed a transformation plan towards macro-services on Google Cloud,
    - Assembled the new technical foundation (Java 21+, Spring Boot, React, Keycloak),
    - Created prototypes and sample applications,
    - Assisted in migrating the first features,
    - Rewrote the pricing engine (which calls partner insurance companies) in a modular and optimized way,
    - Participated in upskilling the teams on these technologies (mentoring, documentation, internal conferences, inviting speakers for BBLs).

    The goal was to improve the application's performance, facilitate its maintenance (especially by external service providers), and drastically reduce the time-to-market for new features by giving more control to the business units.

Olivier collaborated with us on the complete development of our mobile application in React-Native. He quickly understood our needs and demonstrated autonomy throughout the project. We now have an application that meets our expectations; the tight deadlines and strong technical constraints were very well managed by Olivier. We would be delighted to collaborate with him again and wish him the best for the future.

Olivier brought a lot to our API team at a time when we desperately needed support and an outside perspective. On one hand, his technical skills allowed us to move forward on the team's projects. On the other hand, his listening skills and good communication were invaluable to us. We highly recommend him and will call on him again if the need arises!
