Cabestan Technologies
Technical problems turned into reliable solutions, from first idea to production. I'm an independent software engineer based in France, available for one-off projects or ongoing support.
Let's talk about your projectServices
Technical audit
Architecture, code, and engineering-practice review to identify risks and improvement opportunities.
Fractional CTO
Part-time technical direction: technical scoping, product/technical trade-offs, and team structuring, without a full-time commitment.
Go training
Upskilling teams on the Go language, its idioms, and its production best practices.
Go / DevOps development
Design and development of backend services in Go, infrastructure setup, and deployment pipelines.
Projects
NuCorder
Co-founder & CTOSaaS platform for remote music rehearsal, letting band members play together in sync from different locations. Starting from an early prototype, I rebuilt the technical foundations over several years: backend migrated from Java/Spring/Struts/Activiti to Spring Boot, then to Go, with audio servers written in Rust and a Vue.js frontend. I built and run the infrastructure (Scaleway/AWS, Pulumi in Go, formerly Ansible/Terraform), the observability stack (Grafana, VictoriaMetrics, Loki), and own the product roadmap, SEO, analytics (Matomo), CRM (Brevo), and subscriptions (Stripe).

12 years of experience in backend development and technical leadership, including 5 years leading engineering teams (Molotov TV / Fubo TV, Wiremind).
I go directly to business teams — support, product, design — to understand the need and translate it into pragmatic technical solutions, then help to formalize it into a ticket for tracking. What matters to me isn’t just execution speed: it’s laying foundations that hold up, technically and humanly, after I’ve moved on.
Go, infrastructure, and DevOps specialist, able to work end-to-end from architecture to production deployment. Former contributor to the Go Buffalo framework (2017-2021), where I was responsible for the documentation site.
The name Cabestan refers to the vertical winch sailors used to multiply their strength when raising an anchor or hauling lines — an image for the role I aim to play alongside the teams I work with: adding technical leverage where it’s needed.
In my free time, I’m interested in art (cooking and music), robotics, and automation.
