Fullstack JavaScript Development • React, Next.js & Node.js • Modern architectures like headless

HETIC graduate with five years of experience across agencies, startups, and scale-ups. I design and develop modern JavaScript solutions using React, Next.js, and Node.js. Working fully remotely, I focus on performance, maintainability, and user experience to deliver products that last.

Work Experience

Unlikely Technology (Web Agency)

Front-End Developer (Remote)

Part of a fully remote team, I provided technical support across high-traffic e-commerce projects – from maintenance to major feature updates.

  • Ongoing technical support on headless e-commerce platforms with high traffic: maintenance, bug fixes, new features, and performance improvements.
  • Frequent client-facing technical support: joined project meetings to clarify requirements and speed up delivery.
  • Ensured continuous deployment: frequent merges on Vercel with automated previews for early feedback and fast issue detection.

Amuse (Media Scale-up)

Front-End Developer (Remote)

As a remote front-end developer at Amuse, I helped build an internal CMS/project management tool (Scale Next) to boost production workflows.

  • Architecture decisions & code reviews: selected tools, libraries, and regularly reviewed pull requests to ensure code consistency and efficiency.
  • R&D & prototyping: developed POCs for internal tools and quickly integrated the most effective solutions.
  • Continuous collaboration: worked closely with the CTO to shape the roadmap and support technical teams.

Appartoo (Startup)

Full-Stack Developer (Paris 11)

As a work-study developer, I led the migration of a legacy Symfony/AngularJS architecture to a modern MEAN stack, improving maintainability and data consistency.

  • Stack migration: replaced Symfony and AngularJS with MongoDB, Express, Angular, and Node.js. Unified SQL and Elasticsearch data in a single NoSQL database.
  • Technical lead: oversaw a team of two developers and interns to ensure long-term code quality.
  • Development & optimization: built a real-time chat feature from scratch, improved on-page SEO, and conducted regular code reviews.

Travel & Exploration

One year exploring Japan

Working Holiday Visa – Japan

During a year-long Working Holiday Visa, I took on the personal challenge of living independently in Japan. I explored the country from Kagoshima in the south to Monbetsu in the north — managing my budget, itinerary, and accommodation on my own. I’m also building a dedicated website to document the journey, offer practical tips, and inspire others to take the leap.

  • Adventure & endurance: 1,300 km on foot (50-day pilgrimage across Shikoku), hiking in the Japanese Alps, and skiing in Hokkaido.
  • Cultural immersion: attended festivals, stayed in over 130 accommodations, and engaged in enriching local encounters.
  • Self-reliance & planning: managed a full year of travel without local income, adapting daily to new environments.
  • Content & communication: kept a daily journal on Instagram (stories and posts) and developed a dedicated site to share advice and experiences.
  • Spirit of adventure: scuba diving in Okinawa and discovering Japan’s diverse regional cultures.
