Yves P is a pragmatic CTO and full-stack developer with 11+ years of experience building and operating high-traffic web applications from front-end UX to backend PHP and Unix administration. At SPREAD he built marketing automation, high-volume emailing and billing/subscription systems, and introduced ElasticSearch and GDPR consent automation, demonstrating strength in both feature delivery and reliability at scale. Originally a PHP/CakePHP core contributor, he improved database schema handling and migrations for a well-known open-source framework and maintained its bilingual documentation. Comfortable across the development lifecycle—from presales to support—he pairs hands-on coding with product-minded technical leadership. Based in Rouen, he combines a DIY engineering ethos with a continual appetite for new technologies and methodologies. A detail-oriented problem solver, he often focuses on improving long-running systems (query optimization, schema robustness, messaging observability) rather than only adding features.
