🇬🇧 Technical leadership of Europe's #1 pet media platform (8M+ monthly visitors, 15M+ app downloads). → Managed a team of 8 engineers across backend, frontend and mobile squads → Led platform re-architecture to handle traffic spikes (x3 during seasonal peaks) → Introduced CI/CD pipelines reducing deployment time from days to hours → Drove build-vs-buy decisions and vendor evaluations for core platform services Stack: PHP/Symfony, AWS, Docker, Elasticsearch, MySQL

🇬🇧 Full-scale technical transformation of a major residential real estate company. Led the migration from legacy C# to a unified cloud-native architecture (AWS/Terraform), designed business platforms on Symfony and API Platform, and built the entire DevOps pipeline (GitLab CI/CD, Docker). Data architecture with PIM and APIs, technical coaching of teams, and shift to a data-as-a-product mindset. 2 years and 9 months building the technical foundations of a company undergoing full digital transformation. 🇫🇷 Transformation technique complète d'un acteur majeur de l'immobilier résidentiel. Pilotage de la migration d'un legacy C# vers une architecture unifiée cloud-native (AWS/Terraform), conception de plateformes métier sur Symfony et API Platform, et mise en place de la chaîne DevOps complète (GitLab CI/CD, Docker). Architecture data avec PIM et APIs, coaching technique des équipes, et passage à une logique de data as a product. 2 ans et 9 mois à construire les fondations techniques d'une entreprise en pleine transformation digitale.

🇬🇧 Backend architecture and technical quality uplift for a B2B logistics platform. Standardized environments with Docker, integrated RabbitMQ for async processing, and enforced development best practices (code reviews, pair programming, SOLID/KISS principles). Took on a technical leadership role beyond pure development — guiding architecture decisions and structuring agile cycles. 🇫🇷 Architecture backend et montée en qualité technique d'une plateforme logistique B2B. Standardisation des environnements via Docker, intégration de RabbitMQ pour les traitements asynchrones, et mise en place de bonnes pratiques de développement (code reviews, pair programming, principes SOLID/KISS). Rôle de leadership technique au-delà du développement pur, en guidant les choix d'architecture et en structurant les cycles agiles.

🇬🇧 Backend development and DevOps on a high-traffic consumer platform. Designed the automation environment (Docker, GitLab CI/CD), implemented automated testing (BEHAT, E2E), and set up continuous application monitoring. Played a key role in software architecture decisions. Actively mentored junior and mid-level developers, establishing systematic peer programming and code review practices. 🇫🇷 Développement backend et DevOps sur une plateforme à très forte charge utilisateur. Conception de l'environnement d'automatisation (Docker, GitLab CI/CD), mise en place de tests automatisés (BEHAT, E2E), et monitoring applicatif continu. Rôle clé dans les décisions d'architecture logicielle. Mentorat actif des développeurs juniors et mid-level, avec instauration de pratiques de peer programming et code review systématiques.

🇬🇧 Designed and built real-time APIs for promotion management on a major e-commerce platform. Deployed API Platform to accelerate scalable API development, implemented automated testing (Behat, unit tests), and continuous integration via Jenkins. First deep dive into API-first design — a principle that would become a cornerstone of my architectural approach. 🇫🇷 Conception et développement d'APIs temps réel pour la gestion promotionnelle d'un e-commerce majeur. Déploiement d'API Platform pour accélérer le développement d'APIs scalables, tests automatisés (Behat, tests unitaires), et intégration continue via Jenkins. Première immersion dans l'API-first design qui deviendra un pilier de mon approche architecturale.

🇬🇧 International technical management (France/Germany) for the procurement joint venture of Deutsche Telekom and Orange. IT audit and organizational assessment, team recruitment and structuring, project framing with business stakeholders, and SSO implementation. Established DevOps practices (Docker, GitLab CI/CD, Git Flow) and built a culture of technical quality (code reviews, workshops, peer programming) in a demanding multinational environment. 🇫🇷 Management technique international (France/Allemagne) pour la joint-venture achats de Deutsche Telekom et Orange. Audit technique et organisationnel des services IT, recrutement et structuration des équipes, cadrage de projets avec les métiers, et implémentation SSO. Mise en place des pratiques DevOps (Docker, GitLab CI/CD, Git Flow) et instauration d'une culture de qualité technique (code reviews, workshops, peer programming) dans un environnement multinational exigeant.

🇬🇧 Built the team and technical platform of Aramisauto from scratch. Recruited a full team (PO, front/back devs, sysadmins, ops), defined the technical roadmap, and delivered the platform in 7 months. Introduced the modern stack (Symfony, Docker, GitLab CI/CD, RabbitMQ, API Platform), set up monitoring (New Relic, AppDynamics), and managed the technical budget. First role combining team leadership, architecture, and hands-on coding. 🇫🇷 Construction from scratch de l'équipe et de la plateforme technique d'Aramisauto. Recrutement d'une équipe complète (PO, devs front/back, sysadmins, ops), définition de la roadmap technique, et livraison de la plateforme en 7 mois. Introduction de la stack moderne (Symfony, Docker, GitLab CI/CD, RabbitMQ, API Platform), mise en place du monitoring (New Relic, AppDynamics), et gestion du budget technique. Premier rôle combinant leadership d'équipe, architecture, et contribution directe au code.

🇬🇧 8 years of solid technical foundations in PHP/Symfony backend development (versions 1 to 5). Functional and technical design, critical feature development, automated testing, application maintenance, and documentation. This is where I built the reflexes that matter: code discipline, code review culture, peer programming, and agile methodologies. The foundation everything else was built on. 🇫🇷 8 ans de fondations techniques solides en développement backend PHP/Symfony (versions 1 à 5). Conception fonctionnelle et technique, développement de fonctionnalités critiques, tests automatisés, TMA, et documentation. C'est ici que j'ai forgé les réflexes qui comptent : rigueur du code, culture du code review, peer programming, et méthodologies agiles. La base sur laquelle tout le reste s'est construit.
