ProxyGear

What I do

I build and maintain web products end to end, from backend architecture to the interface people actually use. Ruby on Rails is my favourite tool, and I happily reach for other technologies when the project needs them.

I enjoy the unglamorous work that keeps a product dependable: release automation, background jobs, authentication, performance.

I use AI-assisted tools every day to move faster, without skipping careful review.

Where I've worked

Most recently at Hivebrite, working on authentication, performance and release automation for a large multi-tenant platform. Before that, tech lead of the web team at Qonto, through a full rebrand. Earlier, I worked in startups in marketing attribution and fintech.

Who am I?

I'm Benoit, a French engineer behind ProxyGear. I've worked remotely my whole career, so clear async communication is second nature. I care about code that still makes sense years later.

Big fan of 37signals and their books, especially Rework and Remote. Off-screen: climbing, badminton and board games.

“A talented and conscientious software developer that has a lot of attention to detail and like a job well done.” — Hugues Bernet-Rollande, Team lead at Hivebrite
