Summary
Yann Very is a Staff Software Engineer based in Nantes with 12 years of backend experience, specializing in Ruby on Rails and increasingly Elixir for scalable services. He has progressed from single-developer CTO and freelance roles to leading backend squads and now staff-level engineering at Welcome to the Jungle, driving SSO, authentication protocols and performance improvements. His career shows deep expertise integrating SAML, CAS, Shibboleth and OpenID Connect across legacy and modern systems, and a proven track record of optimizing test suites and prototyping identity providers. Comfortable in both product and consultancy contexts, he has built and maintained production Rails apps, shipped React/Rails prototypes, and supported complex enterprise integrations like Salesforce. Colleagues value him for pragmatic leadership that balances hands-on coding with architectural thinking. An early systems background (DUT GEII) and repeated freelance stints hint at strong operational instincts and adaptability beyond pure backend development.
