Software engineer · Product-minded builder

MaximeBarthomeuf

01 / Introduction

I design and build tools that make difficult work feel simpler.

At BMW, for teams testing embedded computers. At ÖKO, for people tracking filter life. From the first need to production.

Final-year engineering student at CPE Lyon

02 / Work

Four projects I designed and built.

From an engineering platform to a product website, each one carried through to production.

Recommendation
BMW Group

I could give him a loosely defined problem and count on him to come back with something well thought through, usually faster than I expected. I would gladly have him back, and I recommend him warmly.

03 / Capabilities

From first question to working product.

I work best where architecture, interface and delivery need one coherent direction.

01

Shape the product

For ÖKO, I moved the frequent refill action to the iOS home screen so it takes one gesture.

Discovery / Flows / Interface design

02

Build the system

At BMW, I connected a browser interface, orchestration and physical benches without hiding the result from users.

Python / TypeScript / PostgreSQL

03

Ship and operate

I maintained ÖKO on two stores for four years, from client request to released update.

Firebase / CI/CD / App stores

04

Make AI reliable

For Redline, the model proposes and the code decides what gets saved, sent and prescribed.

04 / About

Portrait of Maxime Barthomeuf

I learned design because working software is not enough.

I’m Maxime, a final-year software engineering student at CPE Lyon. An early scraper made a school PDF faster to read, but students still had to choose their group every time. That remaining friction is what pulled me from code toward product design.

I carried ÖKO from client conversations to store releases for four years. At BMW, I built the automation and interface around a physical test fleet used daily by engineering teams.

I like work that starts with a task that takes too long or too many steps and ends with something that feels obvious to use.

Earlier work that still matters.

Projects that taught me to validate early and remove the friction that remains.

Kholle / CPE Prepa, A weekly PDF became a scraper, a tiny website, then a mobile app built around each student.
