Shine

HireSweet

Lead Developer / Tech lead2022 - 2023

Led a team of 2 to 4 developers with the objective to set good coding practices and streamline the development and product pipelines.

Installed CI/CD pipelines (+ unit testing) as well as guidelines for versioning and deployments, added documentation and helped refactor some sections of the codebase.

Developed critical features for the new product which helped secure important deals.

Owned technical aspects of the SOC2 certification 🔒.

Lead Developer / Tech lead2018 - 2022

Led a team of 2 to 6 developers, and helped them add new features to the product as well as manage a complex system migration. Worked tightly with the Product team to ensure deadlines were (mostly) met and business use-cases were taken care of, while maintaining high code maintanability and flexibility.

I learnt a lot from this experience both in the technical and management aspects, being led by both the current and previous CTOs, and by learning on the spot with the team. We managed to build very nice success stories, both on the devs' carreers and the product we shipped 🎉.

Weezevent

Bottomatik

Co-founder / CEO2016 - 2018
