Description

Hello!

I am a developer, mainly iOS/MacOS (Swift, Obj-C), with good experience in architecture.

I am not immediately available for long-term assignments, but I offer to perform code audits in situations where the existing team is struggling to overcome a difficult phase. For example, when fixing one bug introduces another.

Similarly, just as it's better to stay calm and first pull on the threads to untangle a knot, bringing a fresh perspective and a few possible angles of attack can help reorient a project that seems to be losing stability.

On several occasions, through corporate workshops or more recently as an independent consultant, I've found that 40 years of coding, and thus of making mistakes, have taught me certain ways to get out of or simply avoid being stuck.

The key often lies in a thought process and a diagram on paper, rather than in pure technical knowledge.

In general, developers are good and do their best.

Code is a difficult art that has the potential to humble everyone - regardless of experience :)

Sometimes, an external and neutral opinion followed by a few proposals is enough to inspire a team and give them back control over their code.

Proposals that we evaluate together during workshops, pair coding sessions, or simply by discussing in front of a whiteboard and projector, so that the developers help me refine my advice and diagrams.

This is how we establish your strategy together.
