About me

Hi, I'm Kévin Sauvage

I'm a Frontend Software Engineer with 5+ years shipping high-performance web products used by millions across 15+ countries — including Decathlon's e-commerce platforms in Europe. I'm specialised in React.js, Next.js, Svelte.js, and TypeScript, with deep expertise in accessibility, automated testing, and scalable component architecture. I'm comfortable owning features end-to-end in fast-moving Agile teams. Barcelona-based, I'm fluent in English, French, and Spanish.

My Philosophy

Driving Impact

I build things that work. My goal is to create solutions that solve real problems and provide a smooth experience for users. I focus on delivering value that makes a difference.

Code Quality

I write clean, maintainable code and keep learning new tools and techniques to build better solutions. Good code saves time and makes everyone's job easier.

Collaborative Growth

I work best with others. I enjoy teams where we share knowledge, communicate openly, and help each other grow through feedback and collaboration.

What Colleagues Say

What colleagues and managers say about working with me. These testimonials reflect the collaborative approach and technical skills I bring to each project.

01 / 03
"I had the pleasure of working with Kevin, an outstanding engineer and teammate. From day one, he showed a rare ability to take on the most complex technical challenges and find pragmatic solutions. Even while working in a legacy environment, Kevin brought fresh ideas and meaningful improvements to our front-end, raising the bar for quality and performance. Later, when he transitioned to a new team, Kevin's expertise drove some key changes that truly propelled us forward. His ability to adapt quickly, understand the bigger picture, and deliver impact made him an invaluable asset in both contexts. Beyond his technical excellence, Kevin is a fantastic collaborator, generous with his knowledge, supportive of others, and someone who elevates the team around him. I would gladly work with Kevin again in the future, and any organization would be lucky to have him."
