Florian Ferbach is a pragmatic software engineer and facilitator with 13 years of experience designing user-focused web applications and guiding teams from project inception to delivery. Based in Nancy, France, he blends hands-on front-end work—contributing to notable open-source projects like api-platform/admin, react-admin and EventDrops—with coaching and teaching roles at Université de Lorraine and CESI. As founder of Bleu Matin and former facilitator at marmelab, he applies lean startup and agile practices to continuously improve product and organisational processes. Technically he focuses on UI/UX, React/Angular ecosystems and robust date/state handling, and enjoys refactoring components to make complex interfaces more maintainable. Notably, he pairs classroom instruction with real-world product work, giving him a rare perspective on both training developers and shipping production software.
