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.

Category Details
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.
