About Vincent

Slowness in features? An application that's becoming difficult to maintain? Complex business needs to implement? That's exactly where I come in!

Senior Backend Developer**, I design and implement features with strong business logic. My approach is centered on design and value delivery, not on the language. In practice, I mainly work with **Java/ Spring Boot,Python/ FastAPI, andC++**. I identify and fix **algorithmicandSQLquery slowness to ensure good performance for your critical features. My background inSoftware Craftsmanshipallows me to design code that is readable and maintainable by your entire team.

Concrete Achievements

  • **Optimization of a C++ calculation engine**: 10x reduction in processing time, latency eliminated in production.
  • **Optimization of critical SQL queries**: Elimination of 30 minutes of degradation at server startup and removal of data inconsistency risks.
  • **Development of an automatic routing engine in a banking/insurance context**: Elimination of manual assignment errors and reduction in claim processing time.
  • **Audit of a statistical distribution algorithm**: Identification of undocumented behavior, system correction, and clear restitution to stakeholders.
I use AI tools as **design and validation assistants**. The goal is to go faster, not to delegate understanding.

Available for remote work or in Nantes. 15 minutes are enough to assess if I can help you.

Need end-to-end delivery? I can also integrate my developments on the frontend side (Vue.js).
