Elevate Your French and Development Skills with Authenticity, Innovation, and Personalized Expertise.
My Story
Hello! I'm René Mumba Kibutika, a passionate Full-Stack PHP Developer with over six years of experience in creating dynamic and robust web applications. My journey in the world of technology began during my studies at Lycée du Grésivaudan Meylan, where I earned a Higher Technician Certificate (BTS) in Digital Systems. This foundational experience ignited my interest in software development, leading me to pursue a Professional Bachelor's Degree in Web and Mobile Development at the University of Grenoble UIT1, and eventually a Master’s Degree in Software Engineering at CESI Meylan.
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with some fantastic organizations, including Orange Business, Schneider Electric, and Capgemini France. Each of these roles allowed me to deepen my expertise in various technologies, including PHP (Symfony, Laravel), JavaScript (ReactJS, Vue.js, Angular), NodeJS, and database management with MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Oracle. One of the most rewarding aspects of my work has been the opportunity to manage projects using Agile methodologies, which I believe are crucial for delivering high-quality, timely solutions.
I value innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning. I am always eager to embrace new challenges and technologies, and I strive to create solutions that are not only efficient but also user-friendly and scalable. My commitment to excellence drives me to stay updated with the latest industry trends and best practices, ensuring that I bring the most current and effective solutions to every project.
Values and Work Ethic
Integrity, dedication, and a passion for technology are at the core of my professional ethos. I believe in the power of teamwork and the importance of clear, honest communication. Whether collaborating with clients, colleagues, or stakeholders, I strive to foster an environment of trust and mutual respect. My approach to problem-solving is both analytical and creative, always aiming to find the most effective and innovative solutions.
Personal Anecdotes and Hobbies
Outside of my professional life, I am an avid learner and a technology enthusiast. One memorable project that stands out was developing the EV Advisor platform for Schneider Electric. This project not only challenged my technical skills but also allowed me to contribute to the growing field of sustainable energy solutions, which is something I am deeply passionate about.
For the past three years, I have also been teaching French, which has been an incredibly rewarding experience. Sharing my language and culture while helping others achieve their learning goals has enriched my perspective and honed my communication skills.
