Alexis

Senior Backend Developer | LinkedIn

Alexis, a French native hailing from the scenic region of Brittany, has woven a fascinating tapestry of experiences that reflect his passion for technology and zest for life. Born and raised in the picturesque landscapes of Brittany, Alexis took his first steps towards his career in 2005 when he pursued a telecom and networks program, immersing himself in the intricate world of digital communication. From 2005 to 2007, he dedicated himself to mastering the complexities of this field, laying the groundwork for his future pursuits. After his academic endeavors, Alexis ventured into the corporate world, joining the ranks of France’s largest Telecom provider, Orange. There, he honed his skills and contributed to the telecommunications industry for a fulfilling three years. 

Seeking to expand his horizons and improve his command of the English language, he embarked on a transformative journey to Australia, where he immersed himself in a new culture and language. Upon his return to France, Alexis decided to pivot his career towards web development. His path led him initially to self-employment as a website agency, where he refined his craft and developed a deep passion for coding. Subsequently, he found his professional home in a promising French startup named Smiile, where he devoted nine years of his life. During his tenure, he specialized in building and enhancing backend systems, managing hosting and development environments, steering product evolution, and leading the backend team. Alexis’s affinity for working with PHP and SQL, coupled with his keen interest in DevOps, fueled his professional journey. 

While he thrived in the backend development arena, he actively avoided delving into front-end work, preferring to focus on his true strengths. In 2023, Alexis made a life-altering decision to relocate to Canada with his small family. He discovered that the idyllic Victoria, British Columbia, was the perfect place to put down roots. In September 2023, he embarked on a new chapter in his career by joining Bekatec Online Solutions, ready to contribute his skills and expertise to a new endeavor. Beyond his professional life, Alexis is an enthusiastic participant in various hobbies, including basketball, sailing, hiking, DIY projects, and the exploration of culinary delights as a dedicated food lover. Music is an integral part of his daily routine, and he can’t fathom a day without its harmonious presence in his life.
