For 20 years I have developed software in various industries and using multiple technologies. I have a background in video games, cross-platform apps, telecom and web development (front & back end). I'm not scared by what you can throw at me being a fast learner with vast and diverse experience. Throughout my career, I regularly developed breakthrough technology on private and open-source projects (MVVMCross, Xamarin, Unity3D, Exoplayer, etc.) thanks to my outside the box thinking. I work as a freelancer when I'm not developing my own projects and applications, so I'm always open to hearing about your project proposals.

Having a good business sense and being very dedicated to my work, I always go beyond the expectations by looking for the biggest improvements and the next problem to solve. This mantra is what brought me to freelancing, I was never able to find the same satisfaction as an employee where the work always fell 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 love working with automated tests, ranging from full test suites to simple visual regression tests for basic websites.

I believe hiring a freelancer is about processes, trust and shared values more than fees, although I can guarantee you a good investment. 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.
