About Benjamin

Senior backend developer with 15+ years of experience, specialized in Symfony and complex project recovery.

I help teams stabilize existing applications, fix critical issues, and regain control over codebases that have become difficult to maintain.

Used to high-traffic and business-critical platforms (media, e-commerce), I focus on delivering reliable and maintainable solutions.

My approach is pragmatic: understand the system, secure critical parts, and progressively improve code quality and architecture.

Available for freelance part-time missions (≈20 hours/week).

Experience

  • Contraste Digital

    PRESS AND MEDIA
    November 2019 - October 2025 (5 years and 11 months)
    Braine-l'Alleud, BW, Belgium
    For nearly 6 years at Contraste Digital, I worked as a backend web consultant on various projects for clients in the media sector (Rossel Group) and retail (Stanhome France and Italy).

    I contributed to platform redesigns, development of new features, maintenance, and integration of third-party services.
    Each project was different — some lasting a few months, others long-term — which allowed me to broaden both my technical and functional perspective.

    Main stack: PHP (Drupal 7/8/10), MariaDB, Go, Docker, microservices with CI/CD. I regularly worked in agile teams, in close collaboration with business stakeholders and project managers.

    April 2018 - March 2019 (11 months)
    Tubize, Belgium
    I was part of a team of 10 developers working in a structured agile environment (Scrum), contributing to the ongoing maintenance and refactoring of the Delcampe.net e-commerce platform, an international high-traffic marketplace for collectors.

    My responsibilities included bug fixing, implementing new features, and actively participating in code reviews.

    The technical stack was based on Symfony 3, MariaDB, GitLab CI/CD, PHPUnit, and Jasmine.

    This experience also strengthened my awareness of software quality in a scaling context, as well as the importance of close collaboration with customer support teams.
