Summary
Axel Kirk is a senior frontend developer based in Paris with eight years of experience building production web and hybrid mobile applications, now focusing on frontend work at GitGuardian. Trained originally as a metallurgy engineer, he pivoted to software and brings a strong systems and process mindset from roles at Renault and foundries to product-focused engineering. He has shipped full-stack features and CI/CD pipelines in small startups and larger teams, working with Next.js, React, TypeScript, GraphQL, Strapi and Rails while operating infrastructure with Docker, Kubernetes and GitLab/GitHub. At Dift he combined product sense with hands-on development as one half of the engineering team, and at Scaleway maintained multiple domains and modernized stacks toward Next.js/TypeScript. He also has experience in mobile (Cordova), desktop (Electron) and tooling automation (Jenkins), making him comfortable across user-facing platforms and developer workflows.
