Benoit Payet

I help startups and scale-ups design, build, and scale high-impact software products, with a strong focus on full-stack engineering, AI integration, and technical leadership.

I typically intervene on long-term freelance missions where a high level of ownership is required: structuring the architecture, shipping critical features, unblocking complex technical topics, and helping teams move fast without sacrificing quality.

My experience covers:

• Full-stack development (TypeScript, React / React Native, Node.js, Python, PostgreSQL)

• AI-powered systems (LLMs, OCR, evaluation pipelines, monitoring & performance tracking)

• Multi-tenant SaaS architectures with strong data isolation and scalability constraints

• Product-driven engineering: working closely with founders, product managers, and non-tech stakeholders

• Lead / hands-on roles: setting standards, mentoring developers, and making pragmatic architectural decisions

I’ve built platforms from scratch, modernized existing systems, and delivered production-grade solutions in domains such as industrial order management, AI automation, fintech, and SaaS. I’m comfortable stepping in early, bringing clarity, and taking responsibility for outcomes.

I’m particularly interested in missions where:

• The product has real business impact

• Technical choices matter (performance, scalability, AI reliability)

• Collaboration is transparent and respectful

• Remote work and flexibility are valued
