About Stephane

CTO Startups / Business Unit - Hands on.

I can help you with:

- Auditing an existing system / rescuing a struggling, over-indebted project.
- Upskilling developers, leads, CTOs.
- Building a team, implementing processes.
- Translating product specs into architecture.
- Developing solutions solo or in a team (front and back) following Craft practices (TDD/DDD).
- Implementing AI (Agency-based code generation factory).

- Aligning your tech and product teams to iterate easily and reduce technical debt.
- Engaging with your structure, early stage, startup, scaleup, for impact.

On the Tech side, I've worked with many ecosystems over 30 years.

I have an appetite for Craft, typed languages, functional programming, and event-driven architectures.

Technologies from my recent missions:
Typescript, NodeJs, React, AWS, Azure.

I can act as Tech Lead, Architect, Engineering Manager, CTO for long-term missions or on-demand consulting, in a squad or cross-functionally.

Some references:
- Technical Director Kalisto - Nightmare Creatures.
- Architect Ubisoft - Rainbow Six / Farcry Instinct.
- VP Engineering at Cafeyn - the magazine reading app,
- CTO of Libertrip, a startup in the Travel industry (Havas voyages, ClubMed, Selectour)
- Startup Consulting (Inato)
- Large group business unit Geodis and Saint Gobain (innovation)

Experience has taught me that everything is human and what works are simple - not simplistic - and aligned things.
