Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolGaël Poupard is a front-end developer with 13 years of experience focused on crafting accessible, high-quality HTML/CSS interfaces and progressively deepening his JavaScript skills. Based in Nantes, he has progressed from web integrator roles to technical lead and accessibility referent, most recently joining Entr'ouvert after leading front-end efforts at Onepoint. Gaël contributes to major open-source projects like Bootstrap, where his accessibility fixes and documentation improvements reflect a pragmatic, user-centered approach. A self-described HTML & CSS nerd, he combines design roots with engineering rigor—starting with web experiments in middle school and formalized by a Licence Pro in Infographie/Webdesign. He’s particularly passionate about accessibility tooling (author of a11y.css) and pragmatic UI examples that help teams adopt inclusive patterns. Colleagues value him for translating visual design into robust, accessible implementations while mentoring teams on front-end best practices.
