Description

Je suis Romain Desson, développeur fullstack spécialisé en React, TypeScript et Node.js. Mon objectif ? Créer des applications qui résistent à l’épreuve du temps.

💻 Votre projet mérite mieux qu’un simple patch. Je conçois des logiciels solides, lisibles et maintenables grâce à des pratiques rigoureuses : clean code, TDD, et architectures bien pensées. Chaque ligne de code vise à réduire la dette technique, pour que votre application reste performante et évolutive sur le long terme.

Des difficultés avec un projet existant ou du code legacy ? J’affronte ces défis avec méthode et précision. Je redresse des applications front ou back laissées de côté, je clarifie le chaos et je remets le code sur de bons rails.

🚀 Je ne me contente pas de livrer des fonctionnalités, je construis des fondations techniques solides pour que votre produit évolue sans friction et reste fiable, peu importe la charge ou la complexité.

Prêt à donner une vraie valeur technique à votre projet ? Travaillons ensemble pour transformer vos idées en un logiciel de qualité.

📬 Parlons de vos besoins. Ensemble, bâtissons un code qui dure.

Obat
Frontend Developer
November 2021 - March 2022 (4 months)
Front-end development of an application helping construction entrepreneurs manage their businesses.

I joined the front-end team to contribute to the development of version 2 of the interface built with React.
Took over an existing React project, starting with a significant refactoring effort in collaboration with other front-end developers.
Once the project became more "stable," I developed new features inspired by existing components while adapting the style to the new design specifications (Figma, Adobe XD).
Technologies and tools:

React.js
TypeScript
Git
Figma
Adobe XD
Docker
Jest
What I learned from this experience:

When I joined, I was mentored by a more experienced developer to carry out a major refactor aimed at cleaning up the project and rebuilding on a solid foundation. I learned how to read and understand another developer's code, as well as to find a more suitable solution for our needs without starting from scratch.
I worked as part of a team, guided by the front-end tech lead and in close collaboration with both front-end and back-end colleagues, as well as designers.
We worked in two-week sprints, which involved retrospectives, mid-sprint reviews, planning poker sessions, and daily meetings to discuss progress on tasks.
I significantly improved my React and TypeScript skills during this experience. I tackled complex problems and, when needed, sought help from more experienced developers to unblock myself quickly.
In short, my time at Obat was highly instructive, and I learned a lot from working alongside more experienced developers.
Astrachain Omnicloud
Développeur front-end
May 2021 - September 2021 (4 months)

- Many works with the front, back, design, crypto and QA team. Technologies and tools :
- React.JS
- TypeScript
- Git
- Chakra UI
- Figma
- Jira
- Docker
- Jest / React testing library
- Storybook
- React hook form
- Many others library added in the project to improve the code. What I've learned with this experience :
- Start a big project from scratch, we took lot of times only to setup the project, setup the dev environment and all dependencies that we needed
- Work with a medium sized team. We were 3/4 on the frontend part and 3 on the backend part, it was really greate to communicate with the others dev with more experiences than me, I've learned a lot with them.
- Work with the agile methods, based on 2 weeks sprint. We had many meeting, grooming ans some others stuff ending by -ing, it was pretty cool to see how a product is constructed and how the organization is important in a startup.
- I got a big improvment of my react skills thanks to the others frontend dev that helped me on the first weeks on some tasks. I also got nice side skills like testing with jest, modify a component library with storybook, use some helpfull library in react like react hook form, luxon, dnd...
