Engineering Manager / Lead Developer

About me

Engineering manager / Senior Fullstack Developer, Tech professional for over 10 years, I have a particular attraction for scale-ups / start-ups. For almost 3 years, I joined the adventure of Epsor, a Fintech, to support them in their scaling phase. I was able to support them in the practical aspects (AGILE, good code practices like TDD, BDD) but also on a daily basis in my role as a lead. I have a 360 vision of my lead role, both in technical and organizational/business aspects.
After Epsor, i have joined Planity, a SaaS company in the beauty industry, as an Lead Developer Senior. I am currently working at Planity, where I am responsible for the technical team and the development of the product. I am passionate about technology, i like to understand how things work, to learn and to share my knowledge. I am also passionate about people, i like to help them grow, to support them in their professional development, to create a positive and collaborative work environment. I am looking for an ambitious, creative, caring company with strong values that knows how to empower its teams and create collective successes.
