Hello!

I'm Tom, also known as neemzy. I'm disappointed JavaScript is disabled in your browser. I live in Lille, France.
I'm a senior JavaScript developer, focusing on frontend web frameworks such as React, Vue.js, and Svelte.
I also enjoy making music, and I rant about politics (in French) from time to time.

I've been entitled with technical leadership on the aforementioned technologies before:

Set it up as the foundation for the backoffice information system's frontend stack
Wrote documentation and hosted workshops
Coached my peers and reviewed their code
Contributed to open-source software, e.g. Symfony

Lead frontend developer, Synbioz

Learned Vue.js and taught it to my team with a workshop
Coached them and reviewed their code
Designed the whole new frontend architecture of the company's biggest client's information system

Wrote articles for the company blog
Contributed to more open-source software, e.g. ESLint

Senior frontend developer, Goodays

Designed the pilot architecture for upcoming React apps
Lead large-scale code quality improvements (unversion built assets, reuse code as local packages, dependency upgrades)
Migrated the largest project's build from Gulp to Webpack, and set up caching and code splitting

Your company?

Talks and writings

I also spoke about React and Flux at local FranceJS events, which I took part in setting up.
There are some nifty articles on my own blog, too, and I wrote (in French) for Putain de code ! and 24 jours de web as well.

My speciality

I make JavaScript code awesome by spicing it up with the following mix:

Project bundling with Webpack or Gulp, to guarantee efficiency in development and compatibility at runtime
Jest unit tests: easy to write, blazing fast to run, reliable
Code style consistency with ESLint, to ensure the cleanest, most uniform code
Code documentation following the JSDoc standard, to ease collaboration between developers

What I enjoy

Conceiving smart frontend applications that integrate nicely with an underlying API to provide the best user experience
Solving problems with creative solutions while making pragmatic, yet future-proof choices
Empowering other developers by proactively contributing to the enhancement of the work environment

Other skills

I also have significant experience on various matters, such as:

Git code repository administration and shenanigans
Continuous integration setup (Jenkins, Travis, Gitlab CI, CircleCI)
Web UI scaffolding (HTML, CSS with various methodologies and preprocessors, as well as frameworks such as Bootstrap and Tailwind
JavaScript frontend development with legacy frameworks and libraries (jQuery, Backbone.js and Marionette, AngularJS, Ember.js)
Backend web development and architecture (PHP and Symfony, and of course Node.js and Express)
API design (mostly REST with a bit of HATEOAS)
Realtime client-server communication setup (WebSocket)
Chatbot development (IRC, Slack, Discord), interfacing third-party services like ChatGPT
Mobile app development (React Native)
Desktop app development (Electron)
Browser extension development (Chrome)
