London, England, France
Summary
👤
SeniorLaurent Margirier is a software engineer with 12 years' experience specializing in JavaScript front-ends built on a backend-first mindset. He has led and rebuilt major UIs (Angular/Redux) at scale, defined APIs and test strategies, and shipped performance-focused libraries—most notably a client-side query system like a REST-over-SQL experience that kept views in sync without GraphQL. Comfortable hiring and growing teams, Laurent has run frontend groups, managed cross-platform teams including iOS, and driven continuous delivery and testing culture. His hands-on background spans startups to product teams, from founding a subtitle service to improving load times and CI for multiple products. An active contributor to notable open-source projects, he enhanced the front-end of the popular 2048 game by adding “keep playing” and high-value-tile UI improvements. Based in London with French roots, he combines pragmatic engineering with a taste for elegant, maintainable client-side architectures.
