Hi, I'm Arnaud, an experienced web developer
Who am I? I'm a super curious and passionate 40 yo based in Alsace (France) but I am used to work remotely.
If I'd need to label myself it would be backend as my main interests are PHP, databases, devops, monitoring, serverless, etc. I also enjoy taking care of the users, and I am really concerned about designing UX that don't suck totally.
Sharing knowledge is important to me. I attend meetups on a regular basis to keep on learning and meet great people. And even sometimes give talks.
I like to share my knowledge in blog posts, update outdated documentations and humbly contribute to open source projects.
On my free time, you'll find me reading books, riding my bike, cooking or relaxing at some sauna.
Feel free to write me an email.
More from me:
Some other stuff that have been abandoned:
- elsass.dev (fr), where I published short interviews with developers living in my area
- A collaborative list of website analytics that don't use cookie, don't require consent and focus on privacy
- jststrt, a minimal habit tracker for the browser made with vue 1. I cut my teeth trying to improve my marketing skills but managed to get more than 1000 registers and around 50 active users.
- "Pas mon genre" (fr), an humble newsletter about gender gap written in french hosted on the now dead Revue.
From june 2024
Actively searching for my next adventure...
August 2018 > May 2024 (~6 years)
I joined Philippe and Antoine at Code16, a small, friendly and very professional studio that crafts modern apps using Laravel and lots of great tools. We also actively maintained a CMS framework. It was fun!
Strasbourg
September 2017 > March 2018 (6 months)
Helped the team at sdv working on some proprietary CMS dedicated to french press editors with a pretty modern stack (docker, mongo, redis, angular4, etc).
Strasbourg
September 2016 > August 2017 (~1 year)
Moved out from Paris to the countryside in the East of France. Took on freelance jobs and built personnal projects.
September 2014 > August 2016 (~2 years)
Became a professional web developer from super talented people at matters.tech. I felt really excited to learn angular, and use modern tooling for everything (gitlab, ci, ansible, npm, webpack, solid rest APIs, etc). I worked on many projects from being the lead, to adding interesting features like A/B testing to wisepops or fitting into a huge team of fifty devs improving core features and testing microservices at ubeeqo. I most importantly learnt how to manage projects efficiently.
Paris
September 2009 > June 2014 (~5 years)
Consultant for sncf (french railway company) as a Business Intelligence expert. I had a really great time building high volume datawarehouses, disecting expensive database replication systems and tuning ETL process. At some point I got totally tired of ugly corporate built-in reporting interface and felt the need to learn the basics of web development while implementing handmade dashboards
Paris
April 2007 > June 2009 (~2 years)
Made my debut as a junior analyst. I wrote complex financial ETL scripts the old way with lots of shell and fixed horrible reports in java. I hopefully learnt the basics of working with a team and how databases like oracle work under the hood.
