About

Senior frontend engineer from Quebec with 15 years of web development experience, 10 of them in React. I build and modernize production apps with React, Next.js, TypeScript and React Native, and I can handle the Node.js and AWS side when a project needs it. Most recently I led the frontend at a Web3 game studio, where I owned the wallet and transaction flows and cut the app's first-load JavaScript by 93%.

I've led teams of up to 6 developers and 2 designers, and I care a lot about performance, accessibility and clean, tested code. I use Claude Code and Cursor every day.

Bilingual

English and French, working remotely on Eastern Time.
