Summary
Maxime Laforet is a Design Engineer with 12 years of experience specializing in turning Figma specs into precise, maintainable interfaces using React, Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS. He has been the design-to-code bridge at SaaS teams like Intuo/Unit4 and freelanced for clients including Algolia, Arkadiko, and Stacks Foundation, consistently shipping UIs where spacing, states, and content resilience are first-class. Comfortable reading Figma critically, he flags implementation risks early and builds component libraries and styleguides that scale with product needs. Based in Tenerife and fluent in French, English, and Spanish, he balances remote collaboration with hands-on craftsmanship and practices his craft publicly through Ditto, a project that reproduces real designs to sharpen implementation judgment.
