My journey

Work experience

  • Freelance software engineer

    2024 Today

    As a freelance software engineer, I design and develop custom web applications, websites, and digital tools tailored to each client's unique goals and technical constraints. I handle full-stack development, from database architecture and backend logic to responsive front-end interfaces, while also offering consulting on infrastructure, performance optimization, and scalability. Working independently or alongside client teams, I've delivered reliable, maintainable solutions across a wide range of industries and use cases.

  • Python engineer @Silvr

    2022 2024

    At Silvr, a Paris-based fintech startup, I worked as a Python engineer within the Acquisition Squad, where I contributed to the development of the customer-facing onboarding platform. My work involved building and maintaining the web interface that allowed prospective clients to register, submit company information, and securely connect third-party services such as banking and revenue platforms via API integrations. The goal was to streamline the application process while ensuring high data integrity and user experience.
    Beyond acquisition, I also collaborated closely with the Risk Management team, where I designed and implemented a real-time evaluation algorithm that provided instant insights into a company's financial health. This system empowered the business team with immediate risk indicators, accelerating decision-making and improving the efficiency of lead qualification. Additionally, I partnered with a data analyst to develop internal tools for monitoring user behavior, application funnel metrics, and platform performance, providing key insights to optimize product strategy and business operations.

  • Web developer & tech lead @Akena Technologies

    2017 2022

    At Akena Technologies, I spent five years working across multiple projects as a web developer and later as technical lead. Initially part of a small development team of four, I was recruited to work on a new initiative called Gearscore, a data-driven product aggregation and analytics platform. While I contributed to the company's main platform, Mediavacances.com (a vacation rental marketplace), I also worked on Trustedrent, and Proskilab, gaining exposure to a wide range of features from e-commerce and payment systems to content aggregation and seasonal data tools.
    After two years, I stepped into the tech lead role, where I led the modernization of the company's technical stack and workflows. I introduced version control, transitioned legacy systems to frameworks such as Django, Symfony, Bootstrap, and Webpack, and implemented Docker to streamline the server architecture. I also developed and deployed several microservices, including one for email marketing and transactional messages, and another for managing static assets, significantly improving performance and maintainability across projects.
