ABOUT ME
Head of Engineering · I teach devs to ship faster with Claude Code
Head of Engineering · I teach devs to ship faster with Claude Code
I ship faster and with more confidence using Claude Code every day, and I can teach you to do the same.
I'm Head of Engineering at Fonts Ninja, where I'm taking my team AI-first. I've been coding since 2014 and leading teams for years, so I'll show you how to use AI well: the right setup, the right context, and how to review what it writes. AI helps most when you already know the right patterns, so we'll work on both.
Stack: TypeScript, React, React Native, Node/NestJS, Effect, AWS (Lambda, DynamoDB, S3), Elasticsearch.
I also made a narrated course on Effect: learn-effect-ts.tonytang.dev
French (native) and English.

Started playing with it while I was still a student. It allowed me to write javascript code for the backend. I didn't need to learn any new language.

The library I had the most trouble to understand. At Planity, we use it a lot and it's grown so much that as a beginner, it is really hard to understand how it works.
Since these 2 years, I'm finally able to say that I understand most of the library and I can help anyone.

I passed the Solution Architect Certifcation in 2019. I really like cloud technologies.
AWS being the leader, it was only natural to me to work at a company using AWS technologies.
It was one of the main reasons I decided to join Planity.

I was promoted to Head of Engineering one year after joining Fonts Ninja. The company trusted my knowledge and experience to lead the team and the technical direction. I'm always looking for ways to make the team more productive, and AI changed what that means. I've made it part of how we work every day, and I can help you do the same, whether you're coding alone or leading a team.

I wanted to have more hands on the code, what I really like about being a developer.
I still learn everyday and most importantly, I get to share my knowledge from my past experiences to other developers.
