I build websites. I've been at it a while.

I'm a frontend-focused web developer with 17 years of professional experience, based in Lyon. My career spans two countries: I spent a decade working in Tokyo agencies before returning to France in late 2023. I work in French and English (PTE Academic UKVI 84), and I picked up enough Japanese along the way to get by in a professional setting (JLPT N3).

My strongest work is on the frontend. I build custom WordPress themes, React and Next.js applications, and I have a particular fondness for animation work with GSAP (this project is a good example of what that looks like). But I've never been a pure frontend developer. Over the years I've also configured AWS environments, managed server migrations, set up Docker workflows, and written backends in PHP and Node.js. I can handle the full chain when a project needs it, and in small teams that's usually been the expectation.

I care about code quality, and I've built the tooling to back that up. This portfolio runs automated tests, Lighthouse audits, and CI quality gates on every commit. If the scores drop, the deploy fails. That discipline came from working with AI tools: when generating code gets easier, the quality of what you ship depends entirely on the standards you enforce. I write more about that on my AI page.

I'm used to working closely with designers, project managers, and clients. In agency life you're never just heads-down coding. There's always coordination, feedback loops, and the occasional fire to put out. In practice that means I communicate clearly, I don't create friction, and I pick up what needs doing without being asked.

Currently open to permanent roles and freelance projects in the Lyon area or remote.

Beyond the code

When I'm not working, I play electric guitar. Been trying to nail the same technical death metal leads since I was a teenager, still not there. I trained in kickboxing during my years in Tokyo. And I play more video games than I'd like to admit.
