What can I do for you?

I transform complex business requirements into elegant web applications. Whether you need a new product built from scratch or improvements to an existing codebase, I deliver solutions that are both technically sound and user-friendly.

With 15+ years of expertise in Rails, I handle everything from database optimization to responsive interfaces. While Rails remains my specialty, I'm also proficient with VueJS and React for modern single-page applications.

Beyond standard web development, I tackle specialized technical challenges—like the custom mobile deployment pipeline I recently created with Fastlane, eliminating hours of manual work for my client.

Selected client work

I've partnered with innovative companies across various industries:

  • Qonto , online bank
    Modernized their codebase and led the development team in implementing better practices.
  • Hivebrite , community management platform
    Built a streamlined mobile deployment pipeline with Fastlane, resolving store rejections and accelerating releases.
  • Sush.io , fintech service
    Collaborated with the founder to develop their MVP through the Seedcamp program, contributing to successful early funding rounds.
  • Commandersact (previously adloop.co), marketing and analytics
    Helped the founder transform marketing expertise into a successful digital product that secured early-stage funding.

Who am I?

I'm Benoit, a French software engineer behind ProxyGear.
Working remotely allows me to collaborate with innovative companies worldwide while maintaining the focus needed for quality development work.

My approach combines technical rigor with practical business sense. I believe in writing code that not only works today but remains maintainable for years to come. When you work with me, you get a dedicated professional who communicates clearly and delivers consistently.

I'm a big fan of 37signals and their work approach. I would recommend anyone to read their books, especially Rework and Remote.
