I'm Julien Tavernier.
Based in Abu Dhabi, UAE, where I architect scalable platforms.

Lead Front-End Engineer with 5+ years of experience crafting high-impact web platforms using React.js, Next.js (v15+), TypeScript, and modern frameworks like Tailwind CSS v4, Sanity, and Shadcn UI. I specialize in building scalable, performant, and secure interfaces that combine pixel-perfect design with real-world business results.

Currently working as a Software Engineer at Technology Innovation Institute in Abu Dhabi since November 2025, I previously led strategic projects at Nucleus Strategies, building and maintaining reusable React/Next.js/Sanity starters adopted across all new web initiatives.

I drive CI/CD excellence with Vercel, GitHub Actions, and recently integrated Claude Code and Cursor Agents to boost delivery and automate documentation workflows. Passionate about R&D, I keep teams up to date with emerging tech like React 19, Server Components, Edge Functions, and AI tooling.

With a background in cybersecurity at Seckiot, I introduced tools like Nordpass and enforced secure coding practices across teams—ensuring safety without sacrificing speed. I'm deeply fluent with Figma, responsive UI/UX, performance optimization, and accessibility standards (Lighthouse 90+ scores).

I thrive in Agile environments and bring strong communication skills (bilingual FR/EN) to lead globally distributed teams. Always looking for new opportunities to innovate and push the boundaries of web development.
