About the project

The goal: present residential and commercial cleaning services and collect enquiries from clients in Mascouche, Terrebonne, Laval and Montréal.

The work: responsive pages, a validated form, CSRF protection and rate limiting. Requests are saved to a database, with functional tests and deployment preparation.

The website is in development. Email integration and publishing on its own domain are the next steps.

02 / What I build

From the interface
to the foundations.

I care about what users see and what makes an application dependable. Clear architecture, well-structured data and the right tools make a lasting difference.

Talk about a project
01

Backend & data

Business logic, REST APIs, content management, SQL queries and caching. Build a coherent system, then simplify where it matters.

PHP · Symfony · Slim · Doctrine · Python · Django · MySQL · Redis

02

Interfaces & interactions

Responsive interfaces, clear user journeys and purposeful interactions, with code that stays easy to maintain.

TypeScript · JavaScript · React · Knockout.js · Twig · Vite

03

Quality & deployment

Automated tests, code reviews and reproducible deployments. Keep documentation close to the code to make the next step easier.

PHPUnit · Git · Docker · GitHub Actions · Linux

03 / My experience

Learning by building.

From web application development
to automation and data.

The common thread in my work: understand how a system works, collaborate with the people who use it and make it easier to evolve.

Beyond the code

Curiosity continues
after the last commit.

Music, digital tools and self-hosting are part of my explorations too. I enjoy understanding how services work, organizing what matters and building an environment I can keep improving.

This website is one example: a Symfony application hosted on my own server, with separate development and production environments.
