About Thomas

PHP/Symfony developer with over 6 years of experience, I assist companies in designing and evolving robust and high-performance web applications.
Specializing in PHP (Symfony 4 to 7) and increasingly in Go, I work on scratch development as well as complex, high-traffic architectures, with a particular focus on internal business tools and critical APIs.
I have had the opportunity to work for major players like Free (Iliad) and the Ministry of the Interior, on various topics:

  • High-stakes business backoffices
  • Secure REST APIs (Symfony, Go)
  • Internal portals with SSO (Keycloak) observability (OpenTelemetry)
  • Large volume processing (ClickHouse, Redis)
  • Integration of LLMs into business applications (Ollama)

💡 What I bring:

  • Technical experience: scoping, code review
  • Dual PHP/Symfony + Go expertise
  • Quality focus: testing, PHPStan, clean architecture
  • Strong curiosity for AI applied to development
  • Quick integration into agile teams

🚀 Available for team reinforcement, technical lead, or on AI architecture and integration topics.
