About

I'm working as a freelance when I'm not developing my own projects and applications, so I'm always open to suggestions and proposals.

Having a good business sense and being very dedicated to my work, I always go beyond the expectations by looking for the newest improvements and the next problem to solve. This way of working is what brought me to freelancing, I was never able to find the same satisfaction as an employee where the work always feel short of my aspirations. By working with me, you hire much more than a programmer. Expect to be challenged and to receive feedback on your product and your processes. I'm a continuous improvement maniac who even goes as far as improving my methodology for washing the dishes... You've been warned.

As a Scrum.org certified Scrum Master, I prefer working within that framework, which allows me to put my creativity and thirst for CI at work. As such, I always work with automated tests, ranging from full test suites to simple visual regression tests for basic websites. My production pipeflow is backed by a Jenkins build server from which the customers can always get the latest development version of their project.

As far as technology, I have a background in video games, telecom and web development (front & back end). I'm not scared by what you can throw at me. If I'm not prominent in a given field, I will tell you and I will document myself at my own charge, but for your benefit. I'm curious and happy to be able to try new things out, yet I realize the customer doesn't want to pay for it, this is why I do not charge for the time spent building my knowledge.

I believe hiring a freelancer is about processes, trust and values rather than fees and/or speed. So if you adhere to that statement, be sure to ring my bell!

P.S. My main language is french but english poses no problem at all.
