The freelancer
A software
A software
craftsman.
An independent developer for over 20 years, I help companies, freelancers and founders turn an intuition into working software — reliable, readable and built to last.
I believe good software is measured by what it lets you forget: the tech.
No over-engineering, no hype-driven choices. I pick proven tools, write clear code others can pick up, and always keep in mind the person who'll use the product every day.
My strength: you work directly with me, the expert, at every step. No middleman, no project manager relaying to a junior developer.

FAQ
Common questions about the expertise.
Who do clients work with during an engagement?
You work directly with Hugues Dehen, from scoping through production. There is no sales intermediary and the project is not handed off to a junior profile.
Which data-integration skills are covered?
The expertise covers Semarchy xDI and xDM, Stambia, Mirakl, ETL/ELT architectures, MDM, SQL Server and PostgreSQL, with particular experience in retail and e-commerce environments.
Can you modernise an older .NET application?
Yes. A takeover starts by analysing dependencies, risks and test coverage. Migration can then proceed gradually so service is maintained and every step remains verifiable.
Can an engagement integrate with an existing team?
Yes. The work can be autonomous or carried out with your developers, data teams and business stakeholders, including documentation, code reviews and knowledge transfer.
"Binary is just 0s and 1s. The whole craft is arranging them so they serve someone."— Hugues Dehen, founder of Sculpture Binaire
