What people I've worked with say

I had the pleasure of managing Alexandre as his Engineering Manager at En Voiture Simone. He's a developer who fits into a team very easily, with excellent interpersonal skills and a genuine team spirit. Alexandre knows his subject inside out, knows how to drive things forward and doesn't just execute: he actively looks for ways to improve the team's practices and the way it works, to make it more effective day to day. I recommend Alexandre without hesitation, for his technical skills as much as for his human qualities.

Engineering Manager – direct manager (En Voiture Simone)

En Voiture Simone

I highly recommend Alex, who I worked with on a strategic project. He's an exceptional Angular developer: proactive, always on point when he speaks up, and remarkably efficient. Technically he's flawless, every time: fast, reliable, and always ready with the cleanest, best-suited solution. Beyond the skills, Alex is deeply human, pleasant, committed and positive. As his manager, I'm very pleased with what he brought to the team and the project. A rare talent, and one I recommend without hesitation.

Julien Paput

Lead Engineering Manager – former manager (Betclic)

Betclic

I worked with Alexandre as a Product Manager in one of the squads of En Voiture Simone's product and tech team. His assignment was to bring temporary front-end reinforcement to our squad so we could take on an extra project. Professionally, Alexandre exceeded our expectations. He was able to take on our topics completely autonomously, make clear recommendations and carry them out without a hitch. I particularly appreciated his interest in the product, his initiative and his suggestions, which helped take our features beyond what we had in mind. It was a pleasure working with you, both professionally and personally :)

Matthieu Fournel

Senior Product Manager – colleague (En Voiture Simone)

En Voiture Simone

I worked with Alexandre for almost three years, with him as tech lead on our project. I really valued his technical skills, his constant attention to best practice, his commitment and his ability to guide the team effectively. He's an excellent developer and a very good technical leader, and I highly recommend him.

Lenni Lacombe

Web Developer – colleague (ADMR)

ADMR

I worked with Alexandre for three years and it was a real pleasure to share that experience with him. Beyond his obvious human qualities, Alexandre is a genuine specialist in his field. Having worked alongside him day to day, I can vouch that he's always there with his technical vision, never hesitates to step in and get the team out of a tight spot, and knows how to support his colleagues so they grow with him. Work with him once and you'll want to keep him. I recommend him 100%.

Alexandre Bonnin

Angular/PHP Developer – colleague (ADMR)

ADMR

Alexandre is highly competent and a natural teacher. He helped the whole team level up and helped me progress throughout our project. Very friendly and always in good spirits. I can only recommend him.

Adrien Pointeau

Full Stack Engineer – colleague (ADMR)

ADMR

Alex is a great developer, straight-talking and with an infectious good mood. He's determined to see his tasks through, however hard they are, and he doesn't stop until he's succeeded. He's an expert in his field, with a real eye for detail and a love of work done well. He's talented, pleasant, funny and serious all at once. He's the kind of lead everyone would want to have :)

Grégory Guillaume

Android Developer – colleague (ADMR)

ADMR

Alexandre is serious and competent, always in a good mood, and works just as well on his own as with the rest of the team. Having Alexandre on your team is a real pleasure!

I recommend Alexandre: he is serious, rigorous and always looking to improve. He also settled into the team quickly and brought his good humour with him every day.

Angular Technical Leader – former manager (Banque Populaire)

Professional, full of ideas, kind, naturally likeable and highly competent (full stack Angular), Alexandre learns very fast, reaches out to the right people and delivers a quality product. The good atmosphere he brought leaves a gap in the team.

Maxime Belzunce

Co-founder of CYLABS – former manager (Air France)
