Employee Testimonial: Laurent Gauthier, Full Stack Developer
1. Can you please introduce yourself in a few lines?
I joined NeoXam in February 2015 and I'm now a Senior Full Stack Developer in the Digital Lab. The Digital Lab is a team of 15 developers who built the Digital App with a nice user interface and ultra-fast data flow. We design modern architecture to offer our internal and external customers the best user experience possible. I enjoy understanding and meeting our customers' needs by developing efficient and innovative products.
2. How did you end up in the world of IT?
I started building websites during the summer break when I was in high school. I continued my studies with a D.U.T. (University Diploma of Technology) in Physical Measurements and I quickly realized that software development was the right field for me. I finished my studies with an engineering degree at the University of Technology of Belfort Montbéliard, which allowed me to have a rather general vision of the various IT careers. I then joined a company as a web developer and that was it!
3. What does a typical day look like?
As a Senior Full Stack Developer, my job can be divided into 3 main parts:
1) Development. As a Full Stack Developer, I work on the entire code base from the back end to the front end, including some DevOps.
2) Customer contact. In order to make a good product, we need to understand the needs of our users. Customer contact via implementations and production monitoring allows us to have regular feedback and to improve continuously our Apps.
3) Team management. as a Senior Developer, I help the juniors to increase their skills on our technologies and products.
