Reinforcing an experienced team of frontend developers, I lend my expertise for a fast moving project, with a focus on UI/UX. I'm also the owner of an internal admin tool. The project relies fully on reactive programming, making the addition of new features a breeze. On the human level, I help with recruiting and work with remote teams in Brazil and in the US, giving an occasional workshop about tech topics, such as testing.
From point of sale projects to big online applications through static websites, everything runs in a browser nowadays. In that spirit, I selected a flexible set of libraries that work well together to bootstrap new projects as fast as possible. That includes mentoring people to bring them up to speed and managing our development power.
One the two main things I achieved was a rewrite of the multisite rendering engine, to cut off significant amount of database queries when rendering a page. The second one was to deploy a self-contained service for ebook reading, that sat next to the django platform.
I contributed to the rejuvenation of a dynamic multisite platform. Similar to my previous tasks, and also more complex, my goal was to enable faster and unobstructed development so that we can add value to the platform in an efficient way. To achieve that, we focused on the core of the platform and forgot about various extensions.
Working in the web team, I contributed daily to improve and enlarge our Cloud Library system. I dealt with a big legacy codebase that needed to be brought back under control. That enabled further development tasks to be faster, easier and more straightforward. In parallel, I increased the level of agility in the team by exposing some improvements in our Git workflow.
Having a central role in an ambitious project, I took part in the creation of a modulable and flexible frontend. The technology stack was based on Backbone.js (one of the main contender at that time), jQuery and SASS and everything was plugged on a RESTful API. During that project, my Javascript skills made a big step forward, as well as my understanding of frontend architectures in general.
Setup as a web agency, I worked on very different projects. From large Drupal websites to interactive promotional material, we worked in an agile way and were able to deliver projects fast.
Working in the company as a trainee, I learned a great deal there thanks to my mentor.
I had the pleasure to work with Aurelien in web project as part of a full fledged customer project. In a professional manner Aurelien bore the challenge of working with code he was new to with a lot of technical debt. He is an expert in Python and Django and considers always QA and development aspects as well as side effects to other teams. I'd love to work with Aurelien again.
Aurélien is a good lad on a human interaction level but development is where he shines. Thanks to his formation, he has great abstraction and optimisation skills which allows him to come up with well-thought-out procedures and algorithms. He has good development practices (e.g. useful code comments, meaningful branch strategy, etc.) and what matters a lot in this job: good intuition and resourcefulness.
If I had three words to describe Aurélien, I will say clever, conscientious and Professional. Aurélien has the capacity to explain you lots of things in a very simple way. As a true web addict, Aurelien is open minded and really talented in his work.
