About Thomas

I unblock technically stuck SaaS | Fullstack + DevOps


Is your SaaS running but falling apart?
Migration dragging on, technical debt slowing down every feature, infrastructure costing too much for no reason, payment/DRM/auth integration stalling?
That's what I unblock.

🎯 FOR WHOM?
SaaS Founders (seed → Series A) who have a product in production but are struggling on the technical side. You know where you're going, you just need the senior technical right-hand to get there fast without breaking what exists.

â–ș Airbus, French Navy, EDF: DO-330 critical systems.

💎 WHY ME?
◉ I deliver code in production, not just "advice"
◉ I make quick trade-offs: performance vs. debt vs. deadline
◉ Vendor lock-in free architecture: you stay in control of the stack
◉ I build my own SaaS: I understand founder stress
