Damien Duboeuf

Software architect · Lead full-stack developer · CTO · DevOps

I design the shape of a system, then build it — from a Symfony or Node backend to a Vue, React or Angular front-end, all the way to automated deployment. 18+ years in the trade, 10+ of them freelance — including CTO of Wheelskeep — on high-traffic rebuilds (interflora.fr, La Maison du Whisky) and architecture work (Enedis, BIMData). I also lead teams: CTO, head of engineering, lead dev — mentoring, training, reviews, Agile. What I add on top: industrialisation — reproducible environments, CI/CD, a full environment per branch — so a whole team ships faster. And everything I build for myself is open source.

Expertise

Software architecture

Designing whole systems: boundaries, APIs, data model, technology choices. High-traffic rebuilds (interflora.fr, La Maison du Whisky), cross-framework components (Enedis), legacy modernisation.

Full-stack development

Still hands-on: Symfony, Laravel, NestJS on the server; Vue, Nuxt, React, Next, Angular on the client; down to mobile (Android, Capacitor), Rust and C++ firmware.

Leadership & management

CTO at Wheelskeep, head of engineering at Swabbl, team lead on interflora.fr, La Maison du Whisky and Groupe 361. Mentoring, training, code reviews, rolling out Agile (Scrum).

Industrialisation & DevOps

Reproducible environments (Docker), CI/CD (GitLab CI, GitHub Actions), a full environment per branch, AWS, Kubernetes and Portainer deployments. What makes a whole team ship faster.

Experience

Freelance since 2015: architect, tech lead or CTO, often taking over an existing codebase, putting it back on modern rails and growing the team's skills.
