FranceWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Web Developer with 10 years of experience across agency, media and enterprise environments. My background is strongest in WordPress, PHP and JavaScript, with experience building custom themes, plugins, Gutenberg components, API integrations and front-end features with React and TypeScript.
I previously worked as a Tech Lead, taking ownership of architecture, code quality, estimates and production delivery while remaining hands-on. I now work independently as a freelance developer and recently built a Laravel, React and TypeScript application using public-data APIs.
I’m looking for a senior web development role where I can contribute both technically and to the way projects are structured and delivered. I’m a Canadian permanent resident, currently based in France and planning to relocate to Canada.
