Hi,

I am Raphaël Lemaitre, and it appears you landed on my website.

According to my twitter and Bluesky bio, I am

Back-end Staff Engineer @ledger.com // Pragmatic Coder // Software Craftsman // Tech 💻 // Golf 🏌️‍♂️ // Food 🍲 and Music 🎶 enthusiast // Proud Dad

This sums up well who am I, but I’ll detail a bit more.

I’m a programmer (mainly using JVM languages but not only) living in the Paris area, France. I started working in 2000 and have worked mainly for software vendors. You can look at my LinkedIn profile for more details.

Writing this page, I find that my twitter bio misses something: I love learning. This is one of the main reasons I made this website (with its blog) : I found writing and sharing are the best way to learn. To quote Andrew Hunt in The Pragmatic Programmer: From Journeyman to Master:

An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.
