Maxime Aubaret
Hi, I'm Maxime Aubaret,
a Full-Stack Engineer with 10+ years of experience,
based in Bordeaux, France.

About me

As a seasoned full-stack engineer with 10+ years of professional experience, I specialize in building scalable web and mobile applications that drive business growth. I've co-founded 3 startups as CTO, leading technical teams and architecting solutions from concept to production.

My expertise spans the entire development lifecycle, from technical strategy and architecture to hands-on development in React, React Native, and Node.js. I've successfully delivered projects across industries, helping companies scale their technology and teams.

With a proven track record in startup environments, I bring both technical depth and business acumen to every project. I excel at translating complex requirements into elegant, maintainable solutions while mentoring development teams and establishing best practices.

Currently available for freelance projects, I'm looking to partner with forward-thinking companies that need a technical leader who can deliver results quickly and efficiently. Let's build something exceptional together.
