Back to original languageAbout Romain
Senior Laravel developer based in Toulouse, I have been supporting product teams and technical management for 15 years on demanding web projects, from design to production.
My background:
5 years of development at Airbus as a subcontractor, then project manager / technical lead in an IT consulting firm on major accounts (CCI Paris Ile de France, Flowbird). Independent since 2019, I work for large accounts (University of Toulouse, Flowbird) as well as SMEs and startups (Aligerma, Planet Network International). Also a trainer in higher education.
What I bring:
- Dual developer + technical lead role:I code, but I can also frame, arbitrate, and mentor a team.
- Product expertise:15 years of designing and delivering business applications, not just managing a backlog.
- Mastered stackin depth rather than superficially.
Stack:
- Backend:PHP 8, Laravel (Livewire, Filament, Horizon), Symfony, NodeJS
- Frontend:React, TypeScript, TailwindCSS
- Data & ops:MySQL, PostgreSQL (PostGIS, TimescaleDB), Docker, Linux, CI/CD
Use of AI:
I use AI intensively in product design and development, with the posture of a tech lead managing a team of juniors: I define the need, I review, I arbitrate technical choices. Concretely, this means significantly increased velocity without sacrificing quality, maintainability, or architectural consistency. The AI produces, I remain responsible for what is delivered.
Collaboration possibilities:
- Fixed-price projects (results-based commitment)
- Part-time missions, 3 days/week maximum
I do not accept full-time remote missions, thank you for your understanding.
