About Yohann

🚀 Fullstack & DevOps Lead Developer — Spec-Driven Development + Generative AI · Symfony / TypeScript / Ansible

Impactful projects · Supervised AI · Global view.
I design and maintain complex IS for meaningful projects: government startups (beta.gouv.fr — Ecological Transition for Businesses with ADEME), humanitarian NGOs (CartONG / UNHCR Livelihoods), regenerative agriculture (Fermes d'Avenir), from-scratch redesigns towards modern Symfony and API Platform microservices.

đź§° Swiss Army Knife Profile
• Front: Vue/Nuxt, Angular, React/Next
• Back: Symfony, API Platform, Node, Python
• Ops: Ansible, AWX, Docker, Gitlab CI/CD, Prometheus/Grafana/Sentry
This global view allows me to make long-term decisions (architecture, debt, performance) and steer AI across all project components without changing interlocutors.

🤖 My workflow combines Spec-Driven Development and Generative AI
The spec (requirements, API contracts, model, acceptance criteria) guides the LLM (Claude Code, Copilot, Junie) as input and serves as validation criteria as output. Spec to avoid drift, senior experience to make decisions on security (OWASP, GDPR), patterns (DDD, Clean Architecture), and technical debt.

🎓 I also taught for a few years at the University of Lyon 1 (PHP/Symfony, DevOps Ansible) — not a job, just something I cared about.
