Bio
Sébastien Marion
Michel is one of the most accomplished technologists that I know. He has a deep understanding of technology and is not afraid to get his hands dirty. His full stack profile makes him the ideal member for a startup, but also a key player in more mature companies. Michel always keeps on top of the latest technologies and I have personally learned a lot from him. I could not recommend him any higher.
Andy Britcliffe
Michel is a highly experienced and skilled software engineer and technical leader and was a pleasure to manage and work with. He has a pragmatic and disciplined approach with an ability to build quality, robust and scalable software. He also is uniquely a very product focused engineer which is a great asset to him and people he works with.
