I worked as a full-stack web lead developer in the Evelity product team at Okeenea.
Okeenea is a company that specializes in accessibility, designing innovative solutions to facilitate mobility for people with disabilities.
The product I worked on, Evelity, is a universal navigation mobile app designed to support all types of users, particularly blind, visually impaired, deaf or hard-of-hearing individuals, people with reduced mobility, or cognitive impairments. Evelity offers personalized indoor and outdoor routes tailored to each accessibility profile, in complex environments such as metro stations, hospitals, or university campuses.
I was in charge of web development at Okeenea for over 4 years, and more specifically of the back office of the Evelity mobile app. As a full-stack web lead developer, I contributed to evolving the Evelity back-office platform, which is used by technical teams and field operators to map locations, configure accessible routes, and monitor the deployed infrastructure.
Responsible for many long-term technical decisions on the project, I regularly worked across all layers of the technical stack: front-end, back-end, database, and cloud infrastructure.
- - Back-office redesign and evolution: modernizing the front-end architecture and stabilizing the back-end, while ensuring compatibility with business needs and smooth communication with mobile applications.
- - Technical leadership: implementing best practices (code reviews, systematic testing, continuous integration), mentoring developers, and aligning with product priorities through ongoing dialogue with all project stakeholders.
- - Quality and performance management: continuously improving code reliability and back-office performance by identifying and analyzing potential bottlenecks.
- - Continuous improvement: identifying and prioritizing technical debt and proposing gradual refactors while continuing to deliver impactful features.
This role allowed me to apply my technical skills and commitment to a product with strong social impact, as well as strengthen my technical leadership.
- Front-end development with TypeScript using React/Vite/Redux
- Back-end development with Java 17/Spring 6/Spring Boot 3
- Cloud infrastructure with Google Cloud Platform
