Seven years of software engineering in regulated domains, from satellite test benches to accounting
and tax production in SaaS. Two consecutive roles leading a team of 5 developers, on
both front-end and back-end. Specialist of the French tax filing season (TDFC, corporate income tax,
CVAE, VAT), tech lead and AI lead at my current company.
Professional experience
Senior front-end web engineer — Tech lead
April 2021 — present
MyUnisoft — Accounting production SaaS for chartered accountants · permanent, fully remote
- Technical leadership of a 5-developer squad: code reviews, prioritisation, skill growth, release coordination.
- Company-wide AI lead (for the past year): tool evaluation and monitoring, weekly training sessions, hands-on support for colleagues.
- Designed an internal code-review tool: GitLab merge requests prioritised and assigned per developer, with review aids and a friendly leaderboard. It answers a real bottleneck — 4 mandatory reviews per MR and stalling merge requests. Review time cut threefold; used by the whole front-end team, now rolling out to every developer.
- Tax modules: tax returns, VAT, corporate income tax, CVAE, appendices, tax dashboards, filing tracker, CRM.
- Architecture rework: progressively removed the Redux dependency across several modules; tax form state now managed without a third-party library.
- Automated end-to-end tests with Cypress; best practices spread through pull requests.
- De facto Scrum Master: running ceremonies, administering Jira, working daily with PO, QA and back-end developers.
- ~100 features shipped per year; optimisation work cut processing time by roughly 50% on selected workloads.
