About the project
My first production code, at national scale
Before founding Doctor Project, between 2015 and 2017, I worked as a full-stack development intern at a French government ministry. It is where I wrote my first production code for systems used at national scale.
The Challenge
Serving everyone, inside systems that change slowly
Public systems serve everyone, with no choice of audience: students, families and staff with very different comfort with technology. Old databases and strict processes do not change quickly, so every improvement has to fit inside them.
HOW WE FIX ISSUES
Admissions platform, intranet tools and MySQL administration
I worked on the national higher-education admissions platform and on intranet tools for ministry staff, and administered MySQL databases.
It taught me patience with legacy systems and respect for the end user, two things product data work asks for every single day.
The Toolbox
Technology Stack
Office 365
