Hi. I'm Etienne.

I have been coding professionally for the past 13 years. My interest is primarily in bringing value to the users with tailored solutions. I like simple and clean code.

I am currently learning Golang.

I currently work at

Privateaser / Joy

  • maintaining a large audience marketplace, for which response time and SEO greatly matter
  • expanding an hybrid mobile app, using bleeding edge Angular and FastAPI
  • contributing to everything in between (CI, automations, workers, infra)

What I'm proud of

  • going from a hobbyist python dev to the python lead
  • training the team on python best practices
  • various migrations that went smoothly
    • python2 → python3
