Dylann Cordel is an experienced back-end web developer and technical lead with 12+ years building Django-powered systems for agencies and e-commerce, currently serving as Associé, Analyste Développeur at SCOP WEBU in Grenoble. He has led diverse projects—from legacy PHP sites to complex integrations involving Keycloak, GitLab, Magento, shipping APIs and automated label printing—frequently pairing Django backends with modern front-ends like Vue.js and CMSs such as Wagtail. A proactive open-source contributor, Dylann has improved core Django CMS components (including djangocms-text-ckeditor and django-filer), demonstrating attention to maintainability, permissions, and admin UX. Beyond coding he supports adminsys, finance and HR within the SCOP, and brings hands-on operational experience from running a medieval combat and pyrotechnics association, where he handled accounting and event logistics. Colleagues know him for pragmatic architecture choices, thoughtful migrations (e.g., Django CMS to Wagtail), and a talent for gluing heterogeneous tools into reliable production workflows.
