01 · ABOUT

Freelance senior .NET architect and lead developer, covering the full lifecycle: from business requirements to production operations.

Experienced in technical referent roles (SQL, MongoDB, GDPR at Cdiscount) and team leadership, I bring a global, pragmatic vision: clean code, testing, observability and data governance for reliable, sustainable platforms. Strong at requirement scoping, I ramp up fast in complex contexts: from business framing to cloud (Azure, AWS) and generative AI.

Passionate and active in the .NET community: I publish weekly hands-on content on LinkedIn (architecture, performance, AI), followed by 3,600+ developers and tech leaders.
