🧠 The first step is to analyze what has already been built (if applicable). I leverage all the thinking stages which the team has already been through to gain a deep understanding of the product's business logic.
📝 I then present a report of my analysis, and together we define the necessary resources to ensure the project progresses optimally in terms of scalability, maintainability, reliability, and usability.
🎯 The next step involves defining the technical means to achieve the desired outcome. This may include producing architectural specifications, documentation, organizing brainstorming workshops with the team, and so on.
💻 I can also participate in the implementation of the defined solutions, building the API foundations, organizing their structure, and implementing testing and documentation strategies.
📦 If necessary, it is of course possible to complete the implementation, either independently or as part of a team. This is done in iteration with the product owners to continuously validate each development step.
I always work with an idea of respecting the work that has been accomplished and understand the thoughts that have led to the current situation.
I want to work with human beings as a human being.
Technically, I design solutions targeting the maximum of performances with the minimum of resources, whether human effort or overall energy resources.
Simplicity is my guideline, and I think it's essential not to confuse simplicity with ease.
A lot of software solutions relies on choices that appears to make life easier, but that ease means usually lot of complexity under the hood. And that complexity, on day or another, wilt remind us to its presence, and suddenly, problems can be extremely complex to solve. That is why I create software design in a way that it can always be deeply understood and maintained with full knowledge of the technological stack, without creating black boxes.
I am convinced that it's worth to always have a long term vision. Thinking in depth and learning takes time, but it's the best investment for saving time in the future.
I don't work under pressure building quick and dirty solutions to solve short term issues ; this is never the right solution.
A well thought solution, designed with calm and care, is always the best way to work faster and stronger in the future.
Depending on the type of request and the stage of the project, I can work on-site or remotely from Ardèche - France.
Travel for one or two days is possible.
