About me
I'm Henri-Hubert, but everyone calls me Henri (he/him). I studied to become an airline pilot, then changed my flight plan and transitioned to design, before eventually becoming a software engineer. I've spent over 10 years in tech working as a full-stack developer, front-end developer, tech lead, and CTO. I am also the proud father to two children, aged 9 and 5.
I spent eight years at Tymate, a Lille-based agency, first as a front-end developer, then as CTO. I helped companies build their products and helped my team grow, professionally and personally. The projects went from showcase websites to SaaS products for large accounts, and they taught me to balance ambition with pragmatism.
Now I work as a software engineer and tech lead. I build software, run audits, and train teams on React, Next.js, and advanced AI-assisted development workflows.
After hours, you’ll find me experimenting with mixology and cooking Italian food, or strapped into a VR headset flying planes. I’ve lived in France, Belgium, the UK, the US, and Namibia, which gave me a taste for traveling and meeting new people.
Random opinion: a Dark 'n' Stormy beats any other cocktail.

My stack
This is the tech stack I’m most at ease with, though I’m completely open to exploring alternatives, whether JavaScript-based or not. My focus is on delivering value while keeping things simple and straightforward. That’s why I’m cautious about recommending tools like Kubernetes or Terraform until they’re genuinely needed.
