Description

Hello everyone,

With over a decade of experience in the field, I am a senior Front-End developer, often considered a Full Stack developer with a Front-End focus.

My expertise lies in developing websites, web applications, and mobile applications using agile methodologies. I have acquired specialization in web technologies, with a strong expertise in React.js, Next.js, React Native, Expo, and UI/UX design. Although my specialization is focused on the Front-End, I am also proficient in Back-End with Node.js.

With a background in UI/UX, I pay close attention to the design and interface of the applications I develop. This duality allows me to create user-centric applications of exceptional quality.

Depending on project needs, I am comfortable performing audits, training teams, leading projects, or diving deep into the code.

Feel free to contact me to discuss;)

January 2016 - November 2018 (2 years and 10 months)
Paris, France
As part of the creation of the amnesty.fr website, a development team was specifically assembled, within which I held the role of senior front-end developer. Alongside a designer and a back-end developer, we collaborated closely to design and develop the website from its initial sketches to its production launch.

We adopted an agile approach for the project's execution, with iterative and incremental deliveries. At the end of each sprint, workshops were organized with users to gather their feedback. These exchange moments allowed us to continuously adjust and improve the application, thus ensuring optimal adaptation to user needs.

As a senior front-end developer, my mission was to design, develop, and optimize the front-end functionalities of the site. In close collaboration with the designer, we ensured the delivery of a quality user experience, while the integration with back-end services and data was managed in coordination with the back-end developer.

Stack:
React: for implementing dynamic user interfaces.
Redux: for centralized application state management.
CSS-Modules: for effectively styling and modularizing components.
Prismic: used as a content management system.
Node.js: for server-side development and managing API interactions.

I started developing "Bible Strong" at the beginning of 2019, motivated by the goal of providing Christians with valuable biblical resources to enrich their Bible studies. Today, the application has garnered significant attention, boasting 10,000 daily users and over 60,000 monthly enthusiasts.

This project represents my greatest technical experience in mobile application development. I have tackled the challenges related to offline functionality and compatibility with low-end devices.

I was engaged in the development of a web application where my responsibilities went beyond mere technical execution. In addition to recruiting and assembling a dedicated project team, I also served as the solutions architect and scrum master. My involvement extended to collaborating with the design team on the project's UX considerations, selecting the technological stack, and guiding the application's complex technical decision-making processes. I implemented the back-end architecture using SaaS tools.
