I do my best work with direct user feedback and room to act on it. I'm drawn to data-intensive products, design systems and AI-native tools. Remote-first or hybrid, in European hours. ``` ## About ```text I'm a frontend engineer with 5 years of experience building production web applications in React, Next.js and TypeScript, and 4+ years as a UX/UI designer before that. That mix shapes how I work: I care as much about how an interface reads and behaves as about the code behind it. At ecoinvent, I led the redesign and full re-implementation of ecoQuery, the company's main data platform, and delivered features across three of its four products. I set up the critical Cypress end-to-end suites, covering 10+ user journeys, and drove the quality setup for the company's first external payment integration with Stripe, combining tests in CI with Sentry and Grafana monitoring that caught production incidents and a breaking Stripe API change before they reached users. I also contributed to our Storybook design system and set up Mixpanel analytics for Product and Design. Before that, I spent two years at Capgemini on Orange's authentication platform, working mostly on the Node.js back end, and several years as a designer at Stratis, where I delivered accessible, WCAG-compliant public-sector websites and managed a small design team. I'm most interested in data-intensive products, design systems, and AI-native tools. I use multi-agent development workflows daily, with custom sub-agents and MCP tooling. I'm based in Switzerland, native French speaker, fluent in English, and open to remote or hybrid roles. ``` ## Experience ### Frontend Engineer (current) ecoinvent.
