About
Tifenn Guillas, nice to meet you!
More about me?
Fullstack web developer for over 8 years, specialized in Angular and TypeScript, my path has been anything but straightforward. After a Biology degree, curiosity led me to web development, a turn I don't regret for a single second.
What drives me today is both code quality and the meaning behind the projects I work on. I thrive in teams where best practices are non-negotiable, and I'm increasingly drawn to the possibilities that AI brings to our field.

Portfolio
TODO list
2026
BMAD
I discovered the BMAD methodology—a real game-changer. Ideas I thought impossible to realize alone now feel achievable. I don't know where it will lead, but I've never had more energy to explore.
2025
The developer's toolbox
After thinking about it for a while, I finally built a small "toolbox": a Makefile paired with a git hook that automates project setup and quality checks. Simple in concept, but a huge time-saver and joy to use!
React, the verdict
I took an Udemy course to understand the hype around React. My verdict? Angular provides a more structured framework with less risk of chaos. That said, plenty of other frameworks could challenge Angular's place in my heart. Any suggestions?
2024
SVOM: the satellite has launched
This isn't a challenge—it's a milestone. In June 2024, the SVOM satellite, to which I contributed for four years, launched successfully. A quiet source of pride, though I'll confess: stars aren't my thing. But contributing to scientific research? That's what I love.
When life reshuffles the deck
2024 was also a year of stepping back and reassessing, on a personal level. I won't go into details, but going through a period of instability taught me to put things in perspective.
2023
Java
I love the rigor that typed languages bring (JavaScript -_-'). So I was convinced I'd fall in love with Java. I was wrong: too verbose, too rigid. Does it matter? Not really :)
The complete Harry Potter, in English
A challenge I took on almost on a whim: reading all seven volumes in English for the first time. 4,195 pages later, I have to confess that the films pale in comparison.
2022
Cybersecurity
Joining Mailinblack gave me the chance to dive into cybersecurity: spotting fraudulent emails, understanding attack types and the emotions they exploit. If I had to pick the attack that fascinated me most, it's hands down the browser-in-the-browser.
Scrum Master, the initiation
When Cyber Academy launched, I had the honor of being the squad's Scrum Master for its 9-month journey. Tech-side project management for a product built from nothing. A real challenge, and a wonderful revelation: I discovered I genuinely love project management!
2021
Tailwindcss
A colleague told me "You MUST try Tailwind, it's amazing!". Given how right he was about Docker, I had to listen. Perfect opportunity to refresh my website.
Soft skills
BB isn't a tech stack—it's my new main occupation for a while. The training program: organization, anticipation, multitasking... Soft skills level 100.
2020
Unit tests
Unit tests... I've heard about them since the start of my career, yet no one around me actually wrote them. A project requirement forced my hand. And boy, did I understand their potential! Never again without!
Talk Angular
I was invited to give a talk about Angular to a network of computer scientists within the CNRS. After a brief panic, I realized the honor and was thrilled to share Angular's potential with them.
2019
NgRX
To level up Angular and draw parallels with React, I dove into NgRX implementation. Reactive programming, Redux, state management, Observer-Observable design pattern... Lost? Me too, at first! But not anymore ;)
Hey Baby!
This year my first child arrived. Maybe a small detail for you, but it means everything to me. Time to step back from dev and return exhausted more motivated than ever!
2018
Symfony
I discovered Symfony building my website, then at The Currency Shop. But I've barely scratched the surface of its potential. I'd love to use it for backend development paired with Angular—a true full-stack combo.
Angular
Angular, again?! Absolutely! To keep my skills sharp, stay current (Angular evolves SO fast...), and try new features from the latest releases.
2017
Docker
A mate said "You MUST try Docker, it's amazing!". And it really is! What sealed the deal: no OS dependency and nothing to install except Docker itself. The neat freak in me loves that :)
English
2017: the year of challenges! I decided to move to Melbourne, Australia. Not yet fluent in English, I took on this challenge to fully integrate—professionally and personally. Be gentle with my English mistakes! :)
2016
Angular
Angular, yes. But not just any version! I mean Google's brand-new rewrite that succeeds AngularJS. Time will tell if it stands out among other frontend frameworks. Place your bets!
Bootstrap
Bootstrap is the go-to CSS framework. Time to add it to my arsenal. Plus, it pairs perfectly with Angular for a complete frontend stack.
Aside
This is a little more personal
A few things I enjoy outside of code:
Asian culture
Mangas, anime, Korean dramas, food... An obssession that has seeped into every aspect of my life.
Games
Engineering games (Satisfactory, Oxygen Not Included...) or long board game sessions, I love complex systems and games that go on way too long.
Badminton
I dream of picking it back up. One day.
