I build and maintain Hektor, a CRM used by 8,500 real estate agencies and 45,000 daily users. React and TypeScript on the front, Symfony and Laravel underneath, GraphQL in between.
Four years on business-critical software, where the code has to hold:
— API design. I built Hektor's GraphQL API and the data-access layer beneath it. When the group acquires a company, I integrate their product into the platform so it feels native to the end user.
— Business automation. Contract lifecycle from document generation through e-signature, payment and invoicing. Two-way HubSpot sync feeding leadership dashboards. An internal ERP rebuilt into a multi-product architecture with event-driven APIs.
— AI integration. An LLM support pipeline: retrieval from an internal knowledge base, answers selected and rewritten by a model, formatted for a human to approve and send.
— Legacy takeover. I'm comfortable inheriting a codebase someone else left behind. Recent work includes patching SQL injection vulnerabilities and fixing performance bottlenecks in an old PHP core.
Also working with Next.js, Node.js/NestJS, Angular, Sanity, Strapi, Docker and PostgreSQL.
Native French, fluent English.

I build and maintain production PHP backends — including a health platform serving 450,000+ users and a French payroll system that files social declarations directly with URSSAF and moves salaries through the Revolut Business API.
Most of my work sits where a backend meets something external and unforgiving: a payment provider, a government API, a channel manager, a mobile client. That's where projects tend to break, and it's what I'm good at.
