The developer happiness engineer

Hello there!

I'm François, the developer happiness engineer.

I'm a seasoned software engineer who enjoys solving development process hurdles, mentoring software engineering teams and building developer tools.

I currently work at Canva on the Web Workflows team, responsible for the happiness of Canva's frontend engineers.

On my own time, I'm especially passionate about making programming a more pleasant experience. My life-long personal project is designing Graphene, a sort of "universal AST" that aims to bridge the gap between programming languages and unlock a better future.

I occasionally take on consulting engagements to help teams improve their developer experience and tooling — though my availability is very limited. Get in touch if you think we'd be a good fit.
