With 15 years as a software engineer, I’ve collaborated with large companies like Royal Canin (a Mars Group company), Prisma Media, Sud Ouest Group, and innovative startups such as Akeneo, Convelio, and Sunday. My priority? Delivering real value to end users.
I believe in the power of understanding business needs over chasing the latest tech trends. I focus on finding the most pragmatic solutions to quickly ship them to production and collect user feedback.. Feedback is crucial in software development, it ensures we make the right decisions.
Are bad habits slowing down your delivery capabilities? If you want change but discussions always turn into an endless debate, sometimes bringing in an external facilitator can make all the difference.
As a Technical Coach, I can help your teams grow, enhancing their efficiency and productivity. I love sharing my knowledge on software craftsmanship and helping the individuals I collaborate with to progress.
Adding tens and tens of software engineers but still not shipping fast enough? Simply hiring more people isn’t the key to scaling effectively. When an engineer updates one section of the application and it unexpectedly affects another, this suggests architecture issues within your application. Adding tens and tens of software engineers but still not shipping fast enough? Simply hiring more people isn’t the key to scaling effectively. When an engineer updates one section of the application and it unexpectedly affects another, this suggests scalability issues within your architecture.
I’ve worked for several startups, so I’m familiar with this problem. As software architect, I can help you build solid software foundations and organize your teams to enable faster feature delivery.
Often find yourself shipping features that don’t meet business expectations? As Alberto Brandolini said : “It’s not stakeholder knowledge but developers’ ignorance that gets deployed into production.”
To bridge this gap, I can organize and lead event storming and example mapping workshops. These sessions are designed to bring technical and non-technical stakeholders together in one room to facilitate discussion. Event storming helps to grasp the global picture and start thinking about the software design, while example mapping helps to clarify user stories.

While being very demanding for himself, Arnaud is very pleasant toward his team members and fun to work with."
Arnaud Faissolle (Engineer Manager at Akeneo)
J'ai fait appel à Arnaud pour m'aider à remettre de l'ordre et smplifier une application web métier. Parfois, les déploiements étaient risqués. Nous n'avions pas pris le temps de prendre du recul sur nos développeemnts depuis des années et le ménage n'avait pas été fait dans des tests obsolètes. Arnaud a apporté des méthodes et sa patience pour remettre en ordre et simplifier notre code et notre architecture. Avec Arnaud, nous avons reduit d'1/3 le volume de code source et triplé le nombre de tests, à fonctionnalités égales. En quelques mots, méthode Mikado, EventStorming, culture de la "CI verte", harnais de tests, remise en cause et questionnement des choix techniques, suppression des complexités inutiles, encadrement des juniors sont les points qui font sa marque de fabrique.
Grégory Planchat (Co-fondateur de Gyroscops)
