Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolThomas Laforge is a curious full-stack JavaScript developer and educator based in Grenoble with four years of professional experience and a longer track record across web, embedded and R&D projects. He teaches Fullstack, PWA, mobile and software quality topics at multiple schools while maintaining freelance work that blends frontend interfaces, backend APIs and even electronics prototypes (Arduino/Raspberry) from his Aryballe and R&D experience. His hands-on contributions to Ledger’s desktop and mobile apps focused on UI/UX, internationalization and theming, reflecting a pragmatic eye for user-facing polish. Equally comfortable with React, Electron, React Native and Node/TypeScript, he pairs modern web tooling with practical hardware integration. Not obvious from titles: he has led prototype-to-industrialization efforts, handling BOM, signal processing and technical recruitment during productization phases.
