About Alex

PHP developer for over 10 years, Symfony 3 and 4 certified, trainer who has developed and trained hundreds of people for major publishers, I have decided to continue development and training rather than becoming a project manager or CTO: development is my thing!

Programming is my passion, and I really like to get every developer to question their methods, challenge their way of working in order to improve their productivity and motivation, discover new concepts, challenge themselves!

The number of job offers around PHP and Symfony at the moment allows me to help today's and tomorrow's developers by sharing my knowledge with those who will work towards a bright digital future, and I hope to help put competent people on the job market to make the free and creative spirit of the developers we are shine.
I have a passion for Open-Source, I contribute as much as possible, both in coaching, training, and in code-review or even with my own projects.

My way of working? In a word: square! Good practices are important, but you have to be pragmatic. No need for a CQRS architecture in Serverless published on AWS with micro-services integrated in CI/CD on a Kubernetes stack for a simple blog! Each of these tools has its own utility that should be used when the need arises. I can guarantee that we are able to do very good CRUD, as well as very bad CQRS :)

I think that each project has its need and each need has several solutions that depend on the means that can be implemented. I am committed to always choosing the solution that is best suited to each case, and I like to study each project individually to find the perfect tool!
In short, I'm square when I work :)

I would be delighted to discuss your projects with you!

    ENVIRONMENTAL
    February 2023 - January 2024 (1 year)
    Coordinate the modernization, refactoring and rewrite of very old legacy applications into more robust and modern infrastructure.

    Case one:
    An old PHP-from-scratch app with a Java-based map application.
    Rewriting it into this:
    • A Svelte+OpenLayers-based frontend, with an integration of legacy views and pages, flexible enough to be selectively rewritten into new Svelte+API components
    • Geoserver instance for cartography data
    • PHP/Symfony new backend application with EasyAdmin as administration panel and Api Platform as data gateway for environments, user permissions and main workspace data

    Case two:
    An old Microsoft PowerBuilder application with really big MySQL database as backend.
    Rewriting into this:
    • A SvelteKit administration panel as frontend, connecting to an API using an OpenAPI-generated HTTP client, had to redevelop an Open Source admin system to fit the needs, and used IBM's Carbon Design System.
    • PHP/Symfony backend with Api Platform-generated resources, with DDD/Clean architecture, lots of functional testing and configuration setup, connecting to the legacy database and exposing a more modern version of the legacy schema.

I already knew Alexandre for his seriousness, rigor and skills. I had good feedback regarding the quality of his training from his students trained on the OpenClassrooms platform. He is an excellent PHP Symfony trainer. He has exceeded my expectations regarding these notions addressed. He also has a very good knowledge of the JavaScript universe, necessary to be a fullstack developer.
