About
Evans Sodatonou
Full Stack .NET Tech Lead, Cloud & AI
I’m a Full Stack .NET Tech Lead with 15 years of experience. I specialize in modernizing legacy and critical systems: from defense to TV advertising, by way of online property listings.
As a hands-on Tech Lead, I take part in architecture decisions and stay close to the technical work. Today, a growing share of code is written with AI agents: my role is to steer them and build the framework that lets them deliver reliable, tested and reviewed code. I make sure that what goes to production is tested and monitored.
Today I work as a freelancer through my company SdtnDigital, in the Paris area or remotely, in French or in English.
