Baptiste est un brillant webmarketeur, compétence qu'il cumule avec un niveau technique assez rare pour une personne à "double profil". Il est capable de mener un projet ou une entreprise de façon opérationnelle au quotidien, mais également d'établir une stratégie long terme en fonction de nombreuses contraintes technologiques et sectorielles. Je vous recommande fortement de collaborer avec lui si vous en avez l'opportunité.

Baptiste a organisé brillamment le premier Startup Weekend à Bordeaux en mai 2011. Il a parfaitement su allier ses compétences web à son talent d'organisation. Méthodique, organisé et soucieux des détails, il a développé un site d'une grande clarté et a mis en place une communication efficace et originale. Il a su s'entourer d'une équipe de grande qualité, et c'était un réel plaisir de suivre l'avancement de l'évènement. Je ne saurais donc trop recommander Baptiste, pour son autonomie, sa créativité et son sens de l'équipe.

Experience

    • Frontend developer, Wordpress developer, Webmaster
      • May 2017 - Present

      As Voyage en Francais frontend, Wordpress developer and webmaster, I'm in charge of building, improving, optimizing and maintaining the several websites in company's portfolio, making them functional, intuitive, SEO optimized, responsive, fast to load and easy to browse for our readers and customers. I take pride in building front & backend features that are as practical and future-proof as possible, reducing technical debt, hardening security and optimizing server load, using Wordpress native features and functions, as well as modern development techniques as much as possible. More than 18 years as a webmaster, and 15+ years as a Wordpress developer help me anticipate a lot of security risks and bugs based on my previous encounters and experiences; and when crises and malfunctions happen, i'm able to analyse and find the proper solution quickly, and then deploy the appropriate response in order to improve and harden our systems, so that it doesn't happen again.
