Quentin G.

I love building and helping build interesting and useful products, with a strong focus on quality and simplicity, while ensuring a safe working environment. I am open to new opportunities to keep learning and grow as a person.

I started my career as a software engineer on embedded systems, focused on Linux kernels and x86 architectures, then switched to web software engineer on the web extension of a password manager company, before spending time managing a product-oriented team focused on feature development and finally a platform-oriented data engineering team. I have a broad knowledge on software development and its different practices, from low-level and V-cycle in the industry to high-level and Agile in the web and data. While I love programming, I am also passionate about helping people delivering those results and make them grow in their position and career.

I find myself in the ideal position when I am able to combine my technical skills with my people skills, as hands-on manager, architect or tech lead.

More about me:

🍳 I believe in the highest simplicity for the products I build. Don't overengineer, be pragmatic and listen to the customers

💸 I focus on reducing tech debt and always try to find the ideal balance between feature development and maintenance, to ensure scalability in the long run
