When technical, functional, and organizational complexity builds up, it slows down the ability to deliver and growth slows down.
Blocked deployments, recurring incidents, projects that get stuck: I step in to restore the ability to deliver in a sustainable way, without stopping the product.
Stressful deployments.
Features take too long to ship.
Recurring incidents.
Hiring more developers does not increase velocity.
A technical foundation that becomes risky to evolve.
It is almost never a motivation or skills problem.
Most of the time, the foundations, practices, and organization no longer scale.
Each release becomes riskier.
Technical debt slows down innovation.
Teams lose confidence.
Adding developers does not speed things up.
Features reach production slowly.
Result: you deliver less, more slowly, and with more incidents.
I work as a CTO / Head of Engineering on demand to restore the ability to deliver — without stopping the product.
With 15 years of experience on critical systems and growing startups, I help teams take back control, both technically and organizationally.
In practice, I work closely with teams to:
Always close to the teams, so the changes last.
Arnaud is a very talentuous senior software engineer with robust and proven experience. Arnaud, as leader of a development squad, has successfully delivered a SaaS native platform from first steps of product ideation all the way to the SaaS platform in production. Thanks to Arnaud broad technical expertise and smart human touch, he has been able to lead, coach and grow multiple members of the squad (product manager, software engineer, DevOps). While being very demanding for himself, Arnaud is very pleasant toward his team members and fun to work with.
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.
Arnaud est un développeur exceptionnel, dont l’autonomie et l’initiative ont marqué son passage dans nos équipes.Sa capacité à prendre en charge des projets de A à Z ainsi que son esprit d’analyse et de synthèse en font un très bon leader technique. Si vous avez la chance d’avoir Arnaud dans votre équipe, vous verrez rapidement son impact positif. Je recommande Arnaud avec enthousiasme.
Arnaud is a great software engineer. He led the design and delivery of valuable features and capabilities in our product offer. He introduced, advocated, and embodied many excellent practices like domain-driven design, event storming, and more. His passion for clean architecture and quality positively influenced our entire product development team.
I mainly work with:

Are your deliveries becoming a challenge?
Do you feel your projects are moving too slowly?
