About Steven

I am a computer engineer with 10 years of experience. Born in England, I studied at the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne and at TUM in Germany. I am bilingual English/French.

I started my career working in banks in London and Copenhagen. After a brief period of freelancing, I became interested in entrepreneurship. So I started a startup in Lyon with two French partners, in the role of CTO.

I am skilled in front-end and back-end development, server administration, database management, and project management (the role of lead developer) i.e. managing pull requests, and taking on the "scrum master" role. The list is long, but when you start a startup, you have to be adaptable.

If tomorrow I start a new project and have to choose the technologies to use:
For the front-end application, I prefer to work purely in JavaScript with React, Redux, and Redux Sagas.
For the front-end and design, I naturally use CSS (with modules). I also find Styleguidist great.
For the back-end, I would like to try to stick with JS with Node (isomorphism is the dream) but I am also willing to use Java or C#. If I felt adventurous, I would like to do Rust.

However, I try to avoid listing the technologies I have used and know. I am always ready to learn new technologies. I am proud to be dynamic and adaptable, especially because the best technical choice might be something we don't already know. For example, at Wuha I had to choose and learn ElasticSearch and then implement it as a critical part of the system.

Thanks to my diverse experiences, I am capable of intervening in quite different IT projects. I choose to work only on projects that interest me, but when a project captivates me, I am ready to give my all and learn everything to achieve it.
