Technical leadership for the migration of a market leader in the e-cigarette industry to a modern, scalable Sylius architecture.
As Lead Sylius Developer at ACSEO, I spearheaded the technical overhaul for one of France's leading e-cigarette retailers, ensuring a seamless transition to a robust architecture.
E-commerce architecture & Migration
- Strategic consulting: Defined the technical roadmap to migrate critical data and business logic to Sylius.
- Custom design: Engineered scalable solutions to handle high traffic peaks inherent to the online retail sector.
- Payment modules: Developed and integrated secure payment solutions tailored to the industry's specific regulatory requirements.
Software quality & Excellence
- Testing culture: Implemented a rigorous unit and functional testing strategy to ensure zero regression during migration.
- Quality assurance (QA): Led code reviews and validated Merge Requests to maintain high maintainability standards.
- Continuous deployment: Orchestrated production releases and monitored post-migration performance (Elasticsearch, response times).
Leadership & Agility
- Team leadership: Provided technical mentorship, managed skill development, and hosted "Techlunch" knowledge-sharing sessions.
- Backlog management: Collaborated directly with the Product Owner to prioritize high-value features and secure sprint delivery.
- Process improvement: Continuously optimized the development workflow through regular retrospectives and Scrum methodology refinement.
The primary challenge was to deliver a high-performance, secure e-commerce site capable of supporting continuous growth while simplifying operational management for the client.
