Olivier joined Chronogolf on a full-time basis in 2014 when we were a small startup of 5 employees and played a crucial role in allowing us to scale to a team of 45+ individuals including 10 software engineers. Over a tenure of 4+ years with Chronogolf, Olivier demonstrated an incredible capacity to adapt with the growth of the company. Olivier is a natural leader and creative thinker who has the best interest of the business in mind when leading any project or mandate he is taking on. Beyond his strong technical capabilities as a backend engineer, he is also an altruistic colleague who leads by example. It was a privilege to work with him over the years.

What a power house. On the dev team, Olivier not only takes on the hardest tasks on the list, but also takes on initiatives that need to be done that others are not seeing. He truly leaves things much better than he found them, taking the time to do it right. Also, he's been a mentor for me. Taking the time to answer questions, teach me things, and understand that this time is an investment for the team. It's truly a pleasure working with Olivier, and a highlight of working on this team. This is the standard all devs should aspire to become. By his consistency and the way he applies himself, he is the definition of a senior developer that I aspire to emulate, and provides me with the insight of what characteristics to look for when I hire senior/lead devs in the future.

Olivier is one of the best developers I have come across. He is self motivated, and is always on the look out for the best new technology to solve development problems. He is a great teammate and brings a clarity of thought to anything he has to do. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Olivier again in the future.

Dès le premier jour, Olivier a apporté une réelle valeur ajouté à l'entreprise. Excellent développeur Ruby on Rails, il a su prendre en charge et mener à bien un projet de commerce électroniqe. Olivier a pris de nombreuses initiatives et s'est rapidement formé sur de nouvelles technologies. Ses capacités analytiques lui ont permis de résoudre des problèmes complexes.

J’ai eu l’occasion de constater le travail de Olivier. Je peux dire avec confiance que sa contribution a excédé nos attentes. Il a dirigé de façon autonome, en français et en anglais, un projet d’ampleur de commerce électronique. Il a été professionnel avec le client et a pris de nombreuses bonnes initiatives. En y ajoutant son expérience technique avec Rails et son attitude positive, ce projet fut un succès. Je n’hésiterai pas à réengager Olivier.

Olivier a été un atout majeur dans notre équipe. ll a été d'une rapidité et d'une efficacité hors-pair en plus d'avoir saisi l'ampleur notre écosystème dans un délai très court. De plus, il a démontré une très bonne capacité d'analyse tout au long de son mandat. Je le recommande vivement!

We had the chance to have Olivier on the team and it was a pleasure to work with him. He is a skilled and intelligent Ruby developer. It also seems natural for him to work in a self-organized context like Scrum. I recommend him without hesitation.
