Damien Castro is a Paris-based frontend developer with 12 years of experience and a deep specialization in React, combining strong UX design instincts with a pragmatic focus on developer experience (DX). He brings entrepreneurial discipline from six years as a co-founder, translating business priorities into clear, testable roadmaps and lightweight processes for small teams. His background spans full-stack and mobile work—iOS, Node.js, serverless APIs and Firebase—so he comfortably bridges front-end polish and backend reliability. At beta.gouv and Maracuja Academy he established design systems and CI/CD practices while shipping user-tested products, and he mentors aspiring developers in his spare time. Known for daily transparency (concise status reports) and a pedagogy-first mindset, he’s as comfortable teaching Python basics as he is architecting scalable React frontends.
