What I'm looking for

I'm looking for fully remote backend work where I can modernize business-critical PHP systems through domain modelling, incremental migration, and reliable APIs, particularly in complex or regulated domains.

I've built EU anti-deforestation compliance APIs at Maxicoffee, connecting production systems, supplier platforms, and regulatory tools through Laravel, event sourcing, CQRS, and messaging. I also built integrations for O'Sapiens, Winddle, and Akeneo, while strengthening CI/CD and architecture verification across five business packages.

Across Jeune Afrique, Le Monde, CH Studio, CNAM, Deezer, and Shippeo, I've delivered payment APIs, national COVID services, medical-imaging APIs, high-traffic media platforms, and partner-facing distribution systems. I model bounded contexts in tangled, business-critical Symfony codebases and migrate them incrementally without stopping delivery.

I've contributed to Symfony core and merged 176 pull requests across the PHP ecosystem. I'm based in France, work fully remotely, and bring 16 years of backend experience, including seven years as an independent consultant.
