Hugo Planque is a pragmatic Back End Developer and software architect with six years of experience building event-driven microservices and performant backend systems, primarily in Java/Kotlin and increasingly fullstack with JavaScript/TypeScript. He has designed production architectures using PostgreSQL, TimescaleDB, MongoDB, Solace, Spring WebFlux and observability tooling like Datadog and Sentry, and created developer productivity artifacts and starters to speed team delivery. Comfortable across Golang, Kotlin and Node.js, he focuses on software and network optimization—evidenced by low-level work such as LibUring and scaling solutions for game servers—and contributes to notable open-source projects like GeyserMC/Floodgate where he implemented MongoDB integration and backend optimizations. Based in Saint-Alban, France, he blends hands-on coding with architectural thinking and mentoring, and is actively learning front-end technologies to become a fullstack engineer.
