Frequently asked questions

What is your experience as a freelance CTO?

I have 10 years of PHP/Laravel development experience and 4 years as CTO at Star Croisères (Monaco), where I led a full digital transformation and tripled revenue. I now work as a freelance CTO supporting startups, SMEs and scale-ups in raising their technical maturity.

Which technologies do you specialise in?

My core expertise is Laravel and PHP 8.4, with strong command of hexagonal architecture, DDD and CQRS. I deploy on AWS cloud infrastructure (EC2, ECS, RDS, S3, SQS) with Docker and CI/CD pipelines. I also work with PostgreSQL, Redis, Vue.js and automated testing with Pest / PHPUnit.

Are you available for remote missions?

Yes, I work primarily remote from Nice, France. Hybrid missions are possible in the French Riviera, Monaco and the PACA region. For clients outside the region, occasional travel can be arranged depending on project needs.
