React / Next.js Tech Lead · Applied AI Consulting

Alexandre Quinche

React / Next.js Tech Lead, 27 years in production. I lead a 4-person front-end team across the Louvre Hotels Group digital ecosystem: 7 brands + ~10 sub-brands, 5 brand sites + 1 corporate + 1 loyalty, plus 1 000+ individual hotel pages serving ~1 700 hotels in the group. After a first chapter in application development (Visual Basic, PowerBuilder) in finance, then 8 years as a Release Manager (Société Générale CIB, Sarenza, ENGIE), I came back to my first love: code. Since 2019 I've been building modern web interfaces in React/TypeScript for the hospitality industry. Convinced that AI is a productivity and quality multiplier, I use Claude Code (Anthropic) paired with Superpowers (Jesse Vincent) on my client workstation every day: component generation, refactoring, tests, debugging — code review stays human. DeepL rounds out the workflow for multilingual translations of the group's Drupal sites. On personal projects, I optimise my usage with RTK (CLI token proxy) and monitor-ccu (cost dashboard). Current stack: React, TypeScript, Next.js 15 (App Router), Tailwind CSS, Jest, GraphQL, Drupal, PHP. With a Release Manager background (up to 9 teams / 40 people coordinated on a critical SG CIB release train), I combine process discipline, version management and delivery. My leadership eases collaboration between tech, communications, SEO/SEA and marketing teams.
