Back to original languageAbout Yannick
Passionate about technology since childhood, I have spent over ten years specializing in backend development and system administration. I design reliable, secure, and scalable applications with Node.js (Express, NestJS), Go, and PostgreSQL, while managing deployment, cloud infrastructure, and server optimization under Linux and Docker.
Graduated in Computer Science from the University of Strasbourg, I began my career in software development companies before going freelance. In 2020, I co-founded Oona (formerly Rec'im), where I lead development as CTO. We created a mobile marketing and gamification platform, developed with Flutter, to support local businesses. We also create custom software solutions and games for companies.
My expertise covers backend architecture, cloud infrastructure, and full-stack development with modern frameworks like Nuxt and Tailwind. I enjoy tackling complex technical challenges and transforming ideas into concrete, high-performing solutions.
