Jérôme Poskin

A passionate freelancer, looking for new challenges

With more than 16th years working in the web industry as a developer and co-founder of the Snowcap web agency, I experienced a lot of positions like backend/frontend development, project management, training and much more!

These last years I was working on long-term missions to help start-ups building their project by providing my knowledge and expertise on the implementation of responsive web applications written in React.js.

Let's focus on what I do best

I like to work on missions with focus on details and experience

  • Implement applications or Proof Of Concept based on React.js.
  • Slice and integrate html pages with focus on responsive design and accessibility.
  • Generate application style-guide (design systems).
  • Analyse and provide solutions to enhance the User Experience.
  • Setup big applications structure.
  • Provide training on html semantics, css responsiveness and javascript language (ECMAScript and React.js).
  • Provide training and tools to implement Agile methodology.

If you feel that my profile could match with one of your needs, don't hesitate to drop a word on my communication channels.

Description
After 6 months of awesome work with them as a Web Agency, they offered us a position in their start-up and we took the risk to close our agency to be a part of this great adventure.
The challenge was to create a messaging platform of a new "genre" and, for that purpose, to use a lot of new technologies like cloud micro-services and "universal" language.
Sadly, the project didn't take off fast enough and we had to reduce the costs to get a chance to find the right audience.

The company grew fast and after 5 years we already had more than 30 customers and 10 employees.
Our vision was always to provide quality against quantity, so we decide to focus our work on helping a few start-ups instead of taking more projects.
After a while, one of those start-ups asked us to join them for good and that's what we did.
