Romain Guilloteau Senior Full Stack Engineer
I've spent more than a decade working at startups and small businesses.
From Social media to job hunting, from neobank to maritime logistics and from
sole developer to lead engineer in a fast growing company. My experiences varied
wildly and allowed me to discover every facet of the technical and human side
of the trade.
Experiences
BuyCo
4 yearsOriginally brought in for my expertise on projects architecture, Ruby on Rails and to enforce good practices, I'm now the lead of a team dedicated to the public APIs and shipment tracking.
buyco.coSwile
3 yearsI worked on the food delivery platform when the company was named Lunchr. When it shifted to a neobank, I moved on the affiliates side and payment networks, of which I became a lead.
swile.coCodeur
4 yearsI built Graphiste.com (a designer job board) and Facture.net (an invoicing tool) from the ground up and implemented some major features and rewrites for their other websites.

Languages
Ruby
Fell in love with it in my teenage years when I got sick of PHP, it's a daily ever since.
JavaScript & TypeScript
Started in the jQuery / Mootools era and followed along the insane rise of this language.
Go
A fairly recent discovery, an awesome language to build microservices.
Libraries & Frameworks
Ruby on Rails
Obviously being a Ruby enthusiast. Every single of my job experience was dealing with a Rails monolith.
Hanami
I love what they did in version 2, a perfect framework for building small Ruby services.
React
In itself a brilliant library, the clutter of hype driven packages surrounding it is unbearable though.
Node.js & Express
It used to be a daily, I've built complex services with this two.
tailwindcss
All my personal projects includes it, I love tailwind to death.
Misc
VSCode
I've tried some IDEs but never could get used to it.
Docker
I do not miss the times where we had to install everything on our machine and juggle between multiple versions.
Redis
Obviously I'm well versed in the classic like psql but I must make a special mention, always a joy to work with.
Firefox
Everywhere forever.
