About me
I am an enthusiastic software developer based in Paris (France), with a rich experience of over 20years+ in application/web development.
I create new or modifying existing applications, systems and websites.
With years of experience in application and web development, I have the skills of understanding client requirements according to the latest trends. I have worked with numerous clients from different niches so you can rely on me for their projects.
I’ve spent most of these years working for different banks across the globe. Handling their backend and front-end development, working with upstream teams, scheduling of jobs, and working on issues encountered.
Having worked on various projects that are already live, I can help you with the best possible suggestions and ideas that we can proceed with.
With me, you aren’t forced to accept anything. I give you a variety of options we can work on together.
What I do
As a “Software Developer”, I play a crucial role in the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). The SDLC is a process that outlines the stages and tasks involved in developing software applications. Here’s how software developers contribute at various stages of the SDLC:
Requirements Analysis:
- Participate in meetings with stakeholders and business analysts to understand the project’s requirements.
- Help analyze these requirements to determine their feasibility and technical implications.
Planning:
- Work with project managers and architects to create a development plan that outlines timelines, resources, and technology choices.
- Assist in estimating the effort required for coding and testing.
Design:
- Collaborate with system architects and designers to create the software’s architecture and high-level design.
- Might design individual components, modules, or classes based on the system’s design specifications.
Implementation/Coding:
- Write code based on the design specifications and coding standards.
- Use programming languages and tools to build the software’s functionality.
- Often work in teams to ensure that their code integrates seamlessly with other components.
Documentation:
- Create documentation, including code comments, user manuals, and technical documentation, to help other team members and end-users understand the software.
Collaboration and Communication:
- Throughout the SDLC, I collaborate with various stakeholders, including business analysts, QA testers, project managers, and designers.
- Effective communication and teamwork are essential to ensure the project’s success.
Adherence to Best Practices:
- Follow coding best practices, coding standards, and security guidelines to ensure the software’s reliability, security, and maintainability.
Testing:
- May write unit tests to verify the correctness of their code.
- Cooperate with quality assurance (QA) teams to fix defects and bugs identified during testing.
- May also conduct integration testing to ensure their code works correctly within the larger system.
Deployment:
- Help package the software for deployment in various environments (development, testing, staging, production).
- Collaborate with DevOps or deployment teams to automate the deployment process and ensure smooth transitions between different environments.
Maintenance and Support:
- After the software is deployed, there will be ongoing support by addressing and fixing issues that arise in production.
- May release updates, patches, and enhancements to improve the software’s functionality and address user feedback.
In summary, I am responsible for translating the software requirements into functional code, testing their code for quality and correctness, and supporting the software throughout its lifecycle. I work closely with other team members and follow established processes to deliver successful software projects.
UI/UX Design
An effective UI/UX is what captures attention and spreads a clear message. I make sure the design is innovative and neat with all of this.
Web Development
If you are looking for a developer who’ll take over the research and development of your website, I am a well-established professional to help you with this.
App Development
If you are looking for a user-friendly app that will attract more mobile users, I can help you design and build a platform with the latest and trendiest look and feel.
