Hello, I’m Marc 👋
I’m a senior software engineer dedicated to building high-quality, extendable and scalable backend applications. I write code for humans first, and eventually for machines.
I am a specialist of the Scala programming language and the JVM ecosystem, but first and foremost I’m a specialist of software development. So I don’t mind using other programming ecosystems, with a marked preference for advanced ones.
I’m also involved in programming communities such as the organization of the Scala.io conference at which I had the opportunity to speak.
What I do ☕️
- Understand and analyze your business problem (sometimes the best thing to do may be nothing)
- Design solutions
- Build them
- Mentor and assist others with software development and programming
- Help your company design its global software system
What I’m looking for 👥
- Real team work (not working in individual silos) / extreme programming
- High throughput / scaling challenges
- People to mentor
- People able to mentor me
- A strong tech culture
- Purpose (though it’s hard to list all meaningful subjects here)
If your project meets some of the above criteria, please email-me at hello@markarasev.me
Terms 🤝
I live in the far-west of France 🇫🇷 in a region named “Finistère” (literally “end-of-the-earth” in French), so remote-work is essential to me.
Additionally, I would prefer to work part-time on a 4 days workweek basis.
Experience 👨💻
Technical Lead • Quansic • 2020 - 2024

During this journey, I was deeply involved in designing and building Quansic’s software system, evolving it from a proof of concept to a robust ecosystem of products. I also enjoyed sharing knowledge and training new teammates.

I actively contributed to the development of Track&Claim Sales, now known as Musirev, a digital revenue management service for music distributors and labels.
Software Developer • Lizeo Online Media Group • 2016 - 2018
I was involved in redesigning Lizeo’s data processing engine, transitioning from ETL and batch approaches to service-oriented and streaming techniques to enable scalability.
