I'm a 27-year-old freelance web developer. I've been coding for over 10 years, and I love exploring new technologies in the digital realm, particularly within the web sphere. I've developed a strong interest in both Front-End and Back-End web development, with JavaScript being my specialty. I am well experimented on Next.js projects which is my favorite framework. I'm also proficient in the PHP language, and I have extensive experience with CMS platforms such as WordPress and PrestaShop. I enjoy traveling the world while simultaneously writing lines of code. I've spent 3 years in the United States, 2 years in Canada, and currently reside in France. I'm a soccer lover and enjoy listening to rock music. I have an athletic background by playing soccer in semi-professional level in France and playing during 3 years in the United States. I've worked extensively as a freelance developer, and in 2023, I founded a digital agency called Anywwwhere. For over three years now, I've been working with Paris Airports, assisting them in their digital transformation by developing innovative functionalities and projects using cutting-edge technologies through Extime.com.

Why To Hire me ?
For the Design Engineer position
I love to design — in code
I developed this portfolio without any mockup. Before Paris Airports and Anywhere, I rarely worked with mockup support, even though I'm happy to have them now. However, I can manage without them and develop a decent graphic app.
I am fanatical about polish
Working for three years on Extime.com taught me to be pixel perfect. I also focused on refining component organization to avoid repetition by using semantic class names. When I use a comprehensive Tailwind UI component, I tend to customize it extensively to achieve a result very close to the new Catalyst UI kit.
I deep dive
Even if 20% of knowledge is enough to do 80% of the job, I like to delve deeper into concepts that fascinate me in order to develop real expertise. This how I am feeling about React.js et Next.js, I want to be unbeatable if these topics were in the trivial pursuit.
I love to learn new tools
I enjoy trying out new tools as long as they are useful for the client. Using Tailwind UI is awesome, and I'm eager to learn more about the Catalyst UI kit. I'm also feeling pretty excited about becoming a better Rust developer. I'm not closed off to reconsidering some of my works and decisions if there's something better than what I propose, so I'm always open reconsider it.
I live on the bleeding edge
As I am the only remaining frontend developer on the Paris Airports Extime project, I am always looking for new features within our stack (Next.js, React.js, Tailwind, and Strapi) because it's my responsibility to leave a well-accomplished project when I eventually leave for your team. I like to watch the Next.js and React.js conference to take not and do a report to my team.
I am a self-starter
I fill my backlog at Paris Airports myself when my sprint tasks are done, I am someone who takes initiative. When I have concept ideas or something to try, I had to pursue it before working on something else.
I am a great teacher
I am teaching web development on my YouTube channel : FloDev. I also supported my partner in her retraining as a UI UX Designer. I teached my little brother the minimum skills to pretend get a spot on the only Multimedia Engineer Degree program school (he succeeded).
I am good at breaking down projects
I have a web agency with my partner called Anywwwhere where I am working and managing other freelances and developers on Saas projects built with Next.js and others Wordpress/Prestashop projects. Since it’s a young company, I am speaking to the custom and trying to identify the needs to defined how our skills can perfectly fit the customer project.
For the Staff Software Engineer position
I like to pair on problems.
Because I don't know everything, I am often by myself especially in my current position but I admitted that I never learn more than my 7 months in Canada at Absolunet, wokring inside a 10 developers team. It was amazing.
I hold people to a high standard, and inspire them to do their best work.
I like to give people a chance. I am more hostile towards those who think they know everything and make you feel inadequate. I prefer working with junior developers or people who are self-taught rather than attending five years study schools (like me haha) and who are eager to prove themselves.
I fanatical about polish
This is for what I am not a big fan of rushing project. I know for exemple I rushed the realization of this minisite, and when I will submit it, I won't be perfectly satisfied of this. I always tried to be the cleaner possible from the code to the pull request description
I miss when software used to be fast,
I am a fanatic of Next.js and their caching and revalidation system. Even when I have to jump on Wordpress project, I tried to use the fastest technologies available, less plugins. I discovered Oxygen Builder (a theme based on React) and I a loving using it for doing Wordpress Website because it's crazy fast and I can reach de 100 perf score on Google Ligthouse.
I am energized by unfamiliar territory.
I enjoy new things. I was really excited when I had to explore the strapi-plugin-duplicate-button codebase to find a way to feat our needs at Paris Airports. At the same time, it dive me to contribute to improve the plugin because I identity it like a need that can serve the community. I was really happy when the plugin authors merged my strapi-plugin-preview-button and strapi-plugin-duplicate-button pull requests.
I am great writer.
In French and English. Even if I am perfectible, I like to write my ideas and presents my concept with the most easy words to understand. I am someone who enjoys simplifying abstract concepts. I sometimes write somme article on Anywwwhere website.
I'm good at breaking down projects.
When I'm on a call with a client and they describe their ideal project with all the features they want because they believe they need them, I redefine the priorities to propose the best MVP (Minimum Viable Product) within a 2-3 month timeframe.
I love great design.
Because my partner is a UI/UX designer (and I'm proud to have supported her), and she would kill me if I didn't show at least some interest in design. I've often had to complete full website projects by designing logos, mockups, and the site itself.
Why Tailwind Labs ?
Because to me, you are the final boss. I am always striving to push myself to a deeper level, looking for how I can improve a project and how I can become a better developer. I've thoroughly enjoyed the last three years of experience at Paris Airports, which I consider the best professional experience I've had in my career so far. While working there, I've been involved in both frontend and backend development, working on awesome stack such as Next.js, Strapi, Tailwind CSS, Docker... However, for the first time in my life, I find myself wanting to be behind the scenes and study how the tools I love are in depth working.
I aspire to become a great developer, teacher, publishing great posts and publications on platforms like X, Linkedin or Medium, and making amazing pull requests for the developer community. I admire those who take the time to do so because I would love to offer similar contributions. The truth is, I often find myself too focused on my own projects and clients, neglecting to share my knowledge and experiences with others. But I like reviewing and give advices to my Anywwwhere's junior developers or make video on my YouTube channel. I often have a good feedback from them, so I feel I have something to work on. This is an aspect that I hope to improve, and it's one of the reasons why I'm interested in joining Tailwind Labs.
I am exciting to have the chance of building things and improve Tailwind features. I thinking about this discussion on the Tailwind Prettier Plugin . I also thinking about multiple website starters monorepo Next.js with an Headless CMS (and not only markdowns) such as Strapi (Yes I love this guy) based on Tailwind CSS. Why do not develop a Wordpress builder or starter theme to bring Tailwind into this famous existing CMS ? I still have so much things to learn, and I hope you can give me the opportunity to reach the next step of my career and become a greater developer and contributor to the open-source community.
Thank you for considering me, and thank you for reading me.
