Simon Cambier

Full-stack developer (web & applications) and DevOps, I specialize in designing APIs based on robust and scalable microservices architectures.

I also have solid experience with WordPress, developing custom themes and plugins focused on performance and maintainability.

Freelancer since 2018, I had the opportunity to work in 2024 and 2025 on ambitious projects, directly within pioneering companies in their sectors.

Driven by entrepreneurship, I currently undertake high-value-added freelance missions, while managing several projects of which I am the creator or co-creator.

Within the group's internal web team, responsible for the development, maintenance, and evolution of various websites and business tools (HR processes, distributor management, clinical studies, support tools, etc.), I held the position of back-end developer.

My work focused primarily on developing web applications in PHP and/or server-side JavaScript (NodeJS), as well as designing APIs, for which I developed the software architecture (mainly microservices) and data (MySQL, PostgreSQL).

In cases where it was more relevant, I also deployed solutions based on low-code or no-code tools such as Budibase or Bubble.

My approach was based on an open mind regarding technology choices, aiming to propose the most suitable solution for each project, taking into account its specific context.

Given the company's history, maintaining legacy code was a significant part of my responsibilities. This involved gradually planning refactorings, while documenting the existing through a reverse engineering approach.

Documentation played a crucial role in the design and development of our projects, ensuring their sustainability and scalability.

All projects I worked on were systematically versioned on GitHub, which was also used as a platform for wikis, issue management, and CI/CD deployment.

I was regularly tasked with designing design systems, mockups, and our project presentations using Figma. In this context, I prepared my own assets with the Creative Cloud tools.

I was approached by Ms. Gwenaëlle Grovonius, Member of Parliament, to design and deploy her new institutional website, with the aim of modernizing her online presence and optimizing her communication and management tools.

My mission covered the entire project cycle: needs analysis, technical architecture design, website development, as well as the implementation of complementary digital tools to improve the organization and tracking of interactions (particularly through the implementation of a CRM adapted to parliamentary uses).

I also ensured the drafting of clear and accessible technical documentation, intended to facilitate the adoption, maintenance, and evolution of the tools by non-technical teams.

This project required particular attention to security, reliability, accessibility, and sustainability issues, in a demanding institutional context, while ensuring a scalable solution aligned with the operational needs of the MP and her team.
