Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolOlivier Bouillet is a Senior React Native developer based in Paris with around six years focused on mobile engineering and a longer history in embedded and multimedia systems. He has evolved from C/C++ and Android video integration to leading React Native teams and shipping cross-platform video features, including native work on AVPlayer and ExoPlayer. Olivier maintains active open-source contributions to react-native-video, adding playback controls, fullscreen handling, and robust bug fixes for invalid URLs. He combines hands-on native Android/iOS coding with technical leadership roles at startups and product teams, recently holding senior positions at Azzapp and Timeleft. Trained at EPITA in real-time systems, he brings a systems-level mindset to app architecture and media playback reliability. A not-so-obvious strength is his ability to bridge low-level media internals with high-level React Native UX, making complex video features feel native and dependable.
