Testimonials

“Julien worked with us for l’appero. He worked out all the illustrations of the food products we propose or present on our app and website. Thanks to his diligence and creativity, we managed to reach the exact result we expected in terms of style. He did a great job.”

Grégoire Morgado
Founder, L'appero

“Julien is a cracking multi-talented developer who can turn his hand to a number of problems when it comes to web development. He is extremely fluent with interface development and custom Javascript coding, and at the same can get stuck in on the backend with CMS such as Umbraco and .Net or Django development. Julien really understands digital and has a good eye for creative, coupled with all his agency high profile brand experience he’s the perfect choice for your next web build project.”

David Riley
Digital Technology Recruiter, Nakama London

“I worked with Julien for four years, recruiting him shortly after he made the move from France to the UK. In the time we worked together Julien always delivered a calm, proactive, and creative approach to his work, regardless of the pressure he was put under.

As a developer Julien is someone who will always accept a challenge, and is comfortable taking on any technology. He’s generous with his time and knowledge, and has regularly mentored less experienced team members.

Julien is a great communicator, and can explain complex technical scenarios to clients in a clear and understandable manner. Julien never patronises, and is always patient and approachable.”

Chris O’Brien
Head of Digital, SAS London
