Damien Mercier · Freelance Product Engineer · Remote

I build digital products from idea to production.

Freelance Product Engineer for founders and product teams. I frame the product problem and I ship the solution, in React, Next.js and TypeScript.

What I do

Problems I can take off your plate

Product development
From idea to production-ready product. I help scope, design and build features that solve a real problem, then ship them.
Frontend engineering
Fast, accessible and maintainable React applications, with a design eye and attention to the details users actually feel.
Backend & APIs
Reliable APIs, integrations and data flows. I work across the stack so features don’t stop at the browser.
Performance
Profiling, optimisation, caching and Core Web Vitals. I find why an app is slow and fix the causes, not the symptoms.
Product engineering
I work across product, design and engineering to ship useful features. I ask why before writing how.

Background

Real product work, verifiable code

Experience

I am product and technical consultant for Flexiwork, a B2B office-space platform that brought me back four years after a first mission: discovery, a roadmap formalised in a PRD, and an AI workflow that cut a 45-minute sales task to 30 seconds. Before that I spent nearly two years as a frontend engineer on Campus Coach, a B2C coaching platform with more than 40,000 paying users, where I shipped the monetization flows and worked on the internationalization that opened the English-speaking market.

What clients say

Damien brought a lot to Flexiwork. A very good technician, with a product mindset that counts for a structure like ours. We enjoyed working with him. He is also very rigorous, which makes a real difference in how a project is followed through.
Mickael Kassparian · CEO, Flexiwork
We have worked with Damien for more than three years, on rebuilding our website and on other technical topics. He has been a great help every time we called on him. He is both very organised and very involved. What I appreciated most is that he estimates the time a project needs accurately. I recommend him without hesitation.
Prince Patasse · Co-founder, Flexiwork

What they describe comes from before the code. I trained in hospitality, a trade where you learn to read what a guest has not asked for, and to keep to a timing without ever making them feel it.
