A few defining milestones from my journey.

1. L'Économat des Armées

January 2018 — First apprenticeship.

I never imagined I'd start my career developing for the French Ministry of the Armed Forces. The environment was unusual: somewhere between corporate and military.

My first concrete project: building a site on the ministry's intranet. No access to Stack Overflow, no npm install. Every line of code had to be validated, secured, compliant. I learned rigor out of necessity.

The internal directory I designed is still running today. For an apprentice just discovering the trade, that's a small source of pride.

2. SpinalCom

July 2019 — Startup specialized in connected buildings.

A radical change of atmosphere. Here, we experimented, we iterated, we started over. My official title was web designer, but in reality I did a bit of everything: mockups in the morning, building a dashboard for connected equipment in the afternoon.

The complete redesign of the website was my main project. Architecture, UI, integration — I rethought all of it. Six intense months where I made more progress than in a full year of training.

The startup pace demands adaptability. I held the course.

3. WeFix (Fnac Darty group)

January 2020 — First full-time job.

A real team, projects with strong business value, concrete stakes. Over a few years: 25 projects created, more than 10,000 commits. Behind those numbers, features, fixes, continuous optimizations.

I worked on the platforms for Bouygues Telecom, Garantie Privée and Assurant. Each client brought its own specific constraints and requirements.

The WeFix site, I rebuilt it entirely. The digital services were optimized one by one, with the same goal at every iteration: more performant, more maintainable, cleaner.

The takeaway after 8 years

From the apprentice discovering his first military intranet to the developer leading projects for large groups, the journey wasn't linear.

Technologies evolved, projects grew more complex, but the foundation stays the same: solving problems with code. Whether for the army, a startup or a CAC 40 group.

What actually changed? Today, when something doesn't work, I know why. And more importantly, I know how to fix it.

After all these years, seeing my code used by thousands of people remains an undiminished satisfaction.
