I'm Vincent, freelance Platform Architect & Tech Lead in Paris 🇫🇷

My day job lives in a private org, so this profile looks quieter than reality. Meanwhile, at work :

• 🚚 migrated 1,273 repositories from Bitbucket to GitHub — full history, CI/CD included, in under an hour
• 🤖 built an auto-updater that opened 27,000+ pull requests across a 2,700-repo fleet — 83% merged, humans always in the loop
• ☕ leading a Java 21 / Spring Boot 3 replatforming across ~100 microservices — tests first (story in the works ✍️)
