Summary
Ségolène Alquier is a Senior Frontend Engineer based in Paris with 8 years of experience building user-centric web applications and product-focused interfaces. She specializes in React/TypeScript and Next.js, with hands-on fullstack experience (Node.js, Prisma, Ruby on Rails) and a track record of shipping MVPs, scalable modules, and critical features at both startups and scale-ups. As the first frontend hire at an AI video styling startup she owned architecture, testing (Playwright), CI, performance and analytics, and at Figures and Doctolib she led technical projects and collaborated deeply with product and design. Her background in business and law (ESCP, Panthéon‑Sorbonne) plus a 42School CS education gives her a rare blend of product sensibility, process discipline and technical craft. She is pragmatic about observability, accessibility and developer workflows, and often shapes team standards and agile practices beyond coding. Colleagues value her ability to translate user research into reliable, maintainable frontend systems.
