Front-End Developer & Software Support Engineer

Electrical engineer turned developer. I build fast, intuitive interfaces with React and Next.js, and I enjoy untangling the complex systems behind them. Based in Paris and Dijon, France.

Introduction

ABOUT ME

Front-End Developer (React / Next.js)

Portrait of Théodore Debs

Hi, I'm Theodore Debs, but everyone calls me Théo.

I trained as an electrical engineer (MSc) and moved into software, where I've spent the last few years building React and Next.js interfaces and, since 2024, supporting enterprise software at GE Vernova. I'm based between Paris and Dijon, France 📍.


That mix is my edge: I like understanding how a system works end to end, then making it simple for the people who use it. Along the way I've led the front-end of a research project, shipped an e-commerce platform, mentored developers through a React rewrite and improved UI performance by 60%.
