Younes Bessa / Workshop

Available · Based in Rouen, France

I build software and I fix phones.

I'm the CTO and only developer behind Pixel, which I built from scratch. I also repair phones in Rouen. Same habit in both: take it apart, understand it, make it work well.

What I can do for you

I take a product from idea to production, and I stick around afterwards. You talk directly to the person writing the code.

  1. 01

    Your product, end to end

    A custom web app or SaaS: database, interface, payments, deployment. Like Pixel or Probook.

  2. 02

    A mobile app

    iOS and Android from a single codebase (Expo / React Native), connected to your platform.

  3. 03

    A website that brings you customers

    For a shop or a freelancer: fast, bilingual if needed, and well ranked on Google.

  4. 04

    Taking over an existing project

    Code inherited from an agency, a stalled project, bugs in production: I audit, stabilise, then move it forward.

05 / Method

How I work

I understand your business before writing code

For Probook I implemented Algerian stamp duty from the law itself, and checked the maths against the ministry's official example.

I check what I ship

On Pixel, an audit rated the system "fragile". Today: no critical issues left, and tests that guard the important rules on every release.

I build for real users

French, English, Arabic; mobile first; dark mode; accessibility. Your customers aren't all like you.

06 / About

About

I'm Younes, a developer in Rouen, France. I have a Bachelor's in software engineering (Need for School, 2023), earned as a work-study apprentice, and since then I've been building web and mobile apps.

Today I'm the CTO of Pixel, which I built on my own, and I'm developing Probook, my own invoicing software. I'm also lead developer at onRuntime Studio, a collective of developers and designers between Paris and Rouen.

On the side, I repair phones. It's the same satisfaction as code: understand how it's made, and get it working again.
