Hi, I'm Arnaud, an experienced web developer
Who am I? I'm a super curious and passionate 41 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I like to share my knowledge in blog posts, update outdated documentations and humbly contribute to open source projects.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 things I’ve built:
Some other stuff that were eventually discontinued:
- 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. Learning marketing was a real challenge, but through persistence and experimentation, I managed to attract over 1,000 sign-ups and build a base of around 50 active users—gaining valuable insight into user acquisition and engagement along the way.
- "Pas mon genre" (fr), a monthly newsletter about gender gap written in french and 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 web studio that crafts modern apps using Laravel and lots of great tools. We also actively maintained an open source 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 using a pretty modern stack (docker, mongo, redis, angular4, etc).
Strasbourg
September 2016 > August 2017 (~1 year)
Relocated from Paris to the countryside in Eastern France, embracing freelance work and focusing on personal projects.
September 2014 > August 2016 (~2 years)
Gained solid professional experience as a web developer at Matters.tech, learning from an exceptionally talented team. Dived into Angular and modern development tooling including GitLab, CI pipelines, Ansible, npm, Webpack, and RESTful APIs. Contributed to a variety of projects—ranging from leading initiatives and implementing features like A/B testing for Wisepops, to integrating into large teams (50+ developers) at Ubeeqo to enhance core features and test microservices. Most importantly, developed strong project management skills to deliver efficiently and at scale.
Paris
September 2009 > June 2014 (~5 years)
I worked as a Business Intelligence Consultant at SNCF (French national railway company). I had a really great time building high volume datawarehouses, disecting expensive database replication systems and tuning ETL process. While delivering insights through built-in corporate reporting tools, I grew increasingly interested in creating more intuitive, user-friendly dashboards—sparking my transition into web development, where I began designing and coding custom visualizations from scratch.
Paris
April 2007 > June 2009 (~2 years)
I 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 work under the hood.
