Background


About

About

I'm a software engineer specialized in full-stack development, game design, and video game development, who can build apps and video games from the ground up. I've worked mostly at startups, so I'm used to wearing many hats. I am a very product focussed developer who prioritizes user feedback first and foremost. I'm generally very flexible when investigating new roles.

This is where I've started to learn how to quickly scale a product with a very high growth rate.

ForestAdmin started out as part of eFounder, a start-up studio that has created many successful companies such as Mailjet, Spendesk, Front, Slite, Aircall and more. I have worked both as an employee of eFounder and ForestAdmin and knowing this ecosystem made my skills step up a lot.

    Arnaud worked at Forest Admin for nearly 2 years and the whole technical team is sad to lose him.
    Arnaud has brought us a lot both technically and humanely.
    Passionate about code and avid learner, he has strongly contributed to improving our codebase while delivering quality features in a short time.
    Arnaud is also a person you can count on when it comes to passing on knowledge and helping his team members.

  • Romain Gauthier

    Arnaud spent about 6 months with us, and he will be missed. He is a passionate, result-oriented software engineer with the drive of a reckless entrepreneur. Both opiniated and constructive, Arnaud also has a very good sense of humor that comes with consistently high spirits, and I have absolutely no doubt he will succeed in turning his projects into successful products & services.
