Igal Ilmi Amir · Senior full stack developer · Nantes, France

Back-end by origin, full stack in practice.And at home on any stack.

The way I steer AI agents, with Claude Code, lets me take on any technology and any business domain with the same rigour. My projects show it: Go, NestJS, React, Next.js, two of them already in production.

PHP and Symfony are my home ground. On a major public sector account I picked up Angular fast, to the point of leading critical migrations. For more than five years I have designed, built and shipped complex business applications.

Open to a senior permanent role or a technical lead position.

01 / Evidence

Three results, measured on real projects.

critical applications migrated with zero downtime

Symfony 4 and 5 to 6, Angular 15 to 21. Hundreds of users noticed nothing, which was exactly the point.

30% →70%

RGAA accessibility compliance on a large-scale project

An initiative I led from start to finish: audit, prioritisation, then fixes.

−78%

processing time

By reworking complex SQL queries one at a time, with the execution plan in front of me.

02 / Projects

Four projects, none of them in PHP or Angular.

Go, full stack TypeScript with NestJS and React, Next.js: stacks I don't use on client work, approached with the same method and the same standards. Two are already running in production.

SportTag

Multi-sport booking SaaS · in progress

Slot booking, multi-sport discovery packs, a women-only mode and a rechargeable prepaid wallet. Hexagonal architecture and DDD apply to the back end and the front end alike, with isolated business contexts: identity, catalogue, partner, booking, pass, wallet. The wallet is an append-only ledger.

isolated business contexts: 6

Dependency rules checked automatically in CI, around a dozen architecture decisions recorded as ADRs, and the spec always written before the code.

BudgetColoc

Shared budget for three flatmates

Fixed and recurring shared bills, monthly contributions with a twelve-month history, shared recipes whose ingredients get added straight to the shopping list, shared notes with push notifications. The Go back end follows a hexagonal architecture and the front end is an installable PWA.

Redis for sessions and rate limiting, JWT with a refresh token in an httpOnly cookie, Web Push (VAPID) through a custom service worker, automatic deployment to a VPS.

Album

Private family photo album

An album that follows a child growing up along a timeline, with photos grouped by month and by age. Import from Google Photos over OAuth, dates read from EXIF metadata, thumbnails generated on the server.

Full-screen viewer with touch gestures, offline mode, and two separate passwords: one for the family, one for the owner.

Vaulte

Sensitive document sharing

A private platform for documents that should not travel far. Access is deliberately limited to a small circle, by design. Sign-in works through a magic link sent by email, sessions are JWTs signed with RS256, and there is no password to store.

03 / AI delivery

With my AI agents, I can work on any stack. And I stay in charge.

Most of my career has been PHP and Angular. Yet my recent projects run on Go, NestJS or Next.js, and two are in production. AI doesn't write the code for me: I steer Claude Code with a method in which every agent follows the same rules as a developer on the team.

01FrameCLAUDE.md
Global and per-project instructions, kept in CLAUDE.md files, set conventions and security rules before the first line of code.
02Specifyspecs and ADRs
The spec comes before the code, and every architecture decision is recorded in an ADR. Any agent picking up the project knows why it is built the way it is.
03Equipversioned skills
Reusable skills, versioned in Git: checking a page in the browser, resuming and closing a session with memory, applying hexagonal architecture, auditing security, administering a system, tightening a prompt. I write them and keep them evolving.
04Delegatesub-agents
Specialised sub-agents each take a slice of the work, with a clear scope and nothing beyond it.
05Trackfile-based kanban
A kanban made of files. Where a ticket sits in the folder tree is the only source of truth, so two statuses can never disagree.
06Guardguardrails
No destructive deletion, no privilege escalation, and explicit confirmation before any network action.
07Verifyreview and tests
Code review and tests before every commit. Nothing leaves unverified.

I make the calls and I sign off. The agents execute, inside a process that keeps their work dependable whatever the technology.

05 / Experience

From back end to full stack, since 2020.

A career rooted in PHP, then in Angular learned on the job. The method works on any stack, and my projects in Go, NestJS and Next.js are the proof.
