Currently, I work as a full-stack software engineer at Contentsquare which is a French unicorn and a world leader in user experience analytics. Our product analyzes the user experience on our clients' websites: the frictions, the revenue, the lost opportunities, and everything that can help understand the user behavior while browsing the client's website will be gathered and presented to the clients in a way that would make them quickly discover new insights and act on them to improve the user experience, and in the same time, generate more revenue. Contentsquare is a Saas company, so our application is basically a web application using Javascript on the frontend and the backend via different frameworks that I will mention next. The frontend is developed using a micro-frontend architecture, so each module of the application can be developed in a different frontend framework and everything is bundled at the end to give the whole application. In my day-to-day tasks, I work with Vue.js, Angular (2+), Svelte, Stincil.js, React, and vanilla Javascript and Typescript. So on the frontend side, I consider myself to be framework agnostic. On the backend, we use Node.js and NestJS. The backend architecture is designed in micro-services. We use HTTP for inter-service communication and a Kafka event bus to send events. For the Database, we use Postgres with TypeORM. And finally, we use Github for the version control and Jenkins for the CI/CD. I also occupy the position of tech lead within my team, ensuring code quality standards, onboarding, and helping newcomers, making sure we follow and use the best and latest technologies on the market, and following features from the design phase to the production phase.

Followback is a young startup trying to reinvent emailing which has been a stagnant field for many decades by making it more attractive especially for the younger generations. This is done by drastically improving the user experience and providing a hybrid approach that combines email and instant messaging paradigms. I worked as a front-end web developer on this project using React. I bootstrapped the front end from scratch and developed it into a full-fledged application using React, React query, Pusher, and Vercel. The product is now in its alpha phase.
