TheFork

Software Engineer

TheFork
Paris, FranceJune 2023 - Present

TheFork Manager (TFM): SaaS used by restaurant staff live during service. React + Apollo frontend, ~25 Node.js microservices and a legacy PHP system behind a GraphQL API, on Kubernetes.

  • Led TFM's frontend performance initiative on the booking module: built the perf instrumentation (Datadog RUM tracking LCP, INP, and long tasks on booking views), authored the analysis and the Quick Wins catalogue and shipped the heaviest fixes: booking-page DOM down 52 to 68% across views (reservation list by 88.7%) for the heaviest accounts.
  • Set up the team's monitoring and alerting process (Datadog dashboard + dedicated Slack channel) so regressions get caught and paged.
  • Authored cross-service design analyses (service-override payment, preset menus on overrides) and led the decommissioning of the legacy lafourchette-core PHP dependency inside messaging-worker.
  • Shipped reservation features (first visit, grouped reservations, smart cancellation, no-show flow), preset menus management, mobile-app extensions (click-to-call, contextual menu, simplified-Chinese locale), and a FullCalendar-based calendar revamp.
  • Innovation week: prototyped a no-show prediction AI and Ask-TFM MCP. Upgraded the QA stack to Playwright + Allure v3 with a preconditions API.
