I've worked as a tech lead and senior developer in large organizations. In a small business, the development team is often two to ten people, with no experienced lead to guide them. I help you put simple, solid practices in place, without the bureaucracy.
Every deployment breaks something, and fixes are made in a rush.
Code ships without a second look, and nobody dares touch it.
Only one developer knows the system. When they're away, everything stops.
Deadlines never hold, and management no longer knows what to expect.
Every new feature costs more than the last one.
Your developers want to grow, but nobody has time to guide them.
We start with a diagnostic: code, repositories, continuous integration, ways of working. Then we put what's missing in place, together with the team.
An experienced tech lead a few days a month, without the cost of a full-time hire.
Grow the developers you already have, working directly on your code.
Interviews with the team and management, review of the code, repositories and pipeline.
A written, prioritized report: quick wins, deeper work, roadmap.
I work with the team on your real projects, not on slide decks.
Documented practices. The team carries on alone, and I stay available when needed.
Years as a tech lead and senior developer in large organizations, on business-critical projects.
I still write production code every day: mobile apps, web and custom software.
I keep only what helps a team of a few people. In English or French, remote or on site.
Describe your team and what's not working in a few lines. First conversation, no commitment.
