Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

I am a freelance IT engineer, with a dual expertise in application development (Symfony / PHP) and infrastructure / DevOps, resulting from several years of field experience. After starting my career as a telecom integrator (Alcatel, Tibco, Sicap), I gradually evolved towards software development, a field in which I have been working for about ten years as a Full Stack Symfony developer.

I work both independently and within teams of 4 to 5 people, for organizations of all sizes – from small innovative SMEs to large groups like Okofen or Compagnie des Alpes. I have mainly developed back-office applications and SaaS products, often focused on finance, data, or business workflows. Depending on the needs, I can take charge of the entire project lifecycle: analysis, design, development, industrialization, deployment, evolution, and operational maintenance.

Aix-les-Bains, France
Experienced back-end / full-stack developer, I work on implementing complex features as well as application architecture, SQL query performance, and setting up distributed systems.
I also master DevOps practices, which I implement through application containerization, deployment on on-premise and cloud servers (notably OVH, AWS), CI/CD configuration (GitHub Actions), and integration of monitoring tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, Loki.

Backend and Architecture

I design robust REST APIs, I use the Symfony framework advancedly (Messenger, Cache, Secrets, SonataAdmin…), and I regularly optimize complex SQL queries, particularly on MariaDB/MySQL with large volumes and monthly aggregations.

I have implemented Redis cache systems, RabbitMQ queues, as well as master/slave architectures.

Methodology & Approach

I rely on SOLID, PSR-12, Clean Architecture, DRY principles and a performance and quality-oriented approach. I often use a structured analysis approach inspired by the Socratic method to understand and solve technical problems.

Current Focus

I recently completed a DevOps System Administrator training, and I am looking to continue evolving towards senior or expert roles in demanding technical environments based on Symfony, data architecture, and DevOps.
