Clara Cassinat is a senior software engineer and tech lead based in Nantes with 12 years of experience building and modernizing robust web architectures, notably in PHP (Drupal, Symfony) as well as Python (Django, FastAPI), Node.js and TypeScript. She specializes in tackling high technical inertia—legacy systems, technical debt and complex organizational constraints—to improve code quality, reliability and team autonomy. Clara has a strong backend focus but retains practical frontend skills (React, Bulma, Bootstrap) and a history of DevOps and CI/CD work that keeps deployments smooth. She has moved between hands-on lead developer roles and project management, mentoring juniors and coaching career changers along the way. Known for bringing structure to chaotic codebases, she combines pragmatic engineering with people-first leadership to make teams more confident and productive.
