Simon Boisset, Freelance software developer, web & mobile

I design and build web and mobile apps in TypeScript, from the interface to the API, all the way to production. Since 2020, for startups and SMEs, as extra hands in the team or as tech lead, with React, React Native and Node.js.

Client feedback

#01

“We started from a fairly complex legacy codebase. Simon took over the project, brought structure back to the whole stack, and still supports us day to day.”

Eric

#02

“Simon built our React Native app from scratch while keeping it aligned with the existing web app. In a few weeks, we had reminders, messaging, photo sharing, and video calls.”

Julie

#03

“We had been dragging this Expo migration for more than a year. Simon reassured us, delivered it in two weeks, and we were able to publish a clean version afterwards.”

Matthieu

#04

“Simon joined a project where frontend, backend, mobile, and infrastructure were all tied together. He quickly understood how everything fit together, which saved us a lot of back and forth.”

Thomas

#05

“Simon migrated three of our React Native apps to Expo after more than 9 years of maintenance. The migration went smoothly, and we are already seeing the benefits: much faster upgrades and finally reliable builds.”

Romuald

#06

“Our mobile codebase had become too complex: too many special cases, too many dependencies, and not much certainty left. Simon helped us regain control and put a clear structure back in place.”

Contact

I enjoy joining an existing product, understanding its constraints and moving it forward with the team in place. If your web or mobile app needs an extra pair of hands, I would be glad to talk.
