Introduction

I'm Kilian, a passionate web developer with a strong focus on backend technologies. Over the last year, I’ve specialized in creating dynamic web applications using modern frameworks such as Symfony and Next.js.
My journey in development began with Python and has evolved into a broader expertise that includes API integration, real-time web applications, and full-stack development. I enjoy solving complex problems through code and continuously improving my skills.

Prior to my web development career, I worked as a freelance esports coach from 2018 to 2023, primarily focusing on the game "League of Legends." I supervised players and teams for several renowned organizations, including TPAA (Tony Parker Adequat Academy), LDLC, OL (Olympique Lyonnais), and Solary.
My coaching efforts yielded notable success, particularly in 2022 when my team clinched the French title (LFL) twice and secured a second-place finish at the European Tournament (EMEA).

Achievements and milestones

Over the past few years, I’ve reached several key milestones and accomplishments in my projects and professional development:

  • - League of Legends Cooldown Tracker : Successfully launched a site that attracted over 30,000 monthly users, providing real-time game data for strategic decision-making.
  • - Draft Simulation Tool : Developed a real-time draft tool for amateur eSports tournaments, which improved draft strategies and has been widely used within the competitive gaming community.
  • - Personal Portfolio and Blog : Built a personal website to showcase my portfolio and improve my knowledge of Symfony. This site also serves as a platform for my blog, where I share insights and document my development journey.
  • - Technical Growth : Through various projects, I significantly advanced my understanding of Docker, AWS, Symfony, and full-stack development, all while expanding my ability to integrate complex APIs and real-time data handling with WebSockets.

Future goals and ambitions

Looking ahead, I aim to continue growing as a full-stack developer and push the boundaries of my technical expertise:

  • - Expand Knowledge in AI and Machine Learning : I’m interested in exploring AI and machine learning technologies, particularly how they can integrate with existing web frameworks to enhance user experience and functionality. :
  • - Contribute to Open-Source Projects : I plan to contribute more to open-source projects, specifically in the areas of real-time web applications, game development tools, and backend frameworks.
  • - Advanced Cloud Solutions : I’d like to deepen my understanding of cloud computing, particularly focusing on scalable solutions in AWS, Docker orchestration (Kubernetes), and CI/CD pipelines.
  • - Explore Game Development : Building upon my draft simulation tool, I want to further explore game development—starting with smaller projects related to eSports and strategy games.

I’m excited about the opportunity to apply my skills in both new and familiar environments, and I’m eager to take on more complex challenges in web and software development.
