Romain Avalle

I'm Romain Avalle, an interactive developer with 20 years of dedicated experience in front-end development and technical team leadership. 

My professional story kicked off in 2006, fresh out of Gobelins at lingoBee in London, shoreditch, where I spent three formative years as a Flash developer, yeah... Remember flash ??? 

After a year off traveling, I came back to France, I transitioned into a leadership capacity as Lead Front-End Developer at 5emegauche, successfully leading development teams for five years. This period of strategic growth was followed by another five years of successful full freelance work, cultivating a versatile skill set, before I joined Wonderland in Amsterdam.

Currently, as the Lead Interactive Developer at LG2 in Montreal, I am an expert in digital development and a technical team leader, managing and delivering complex digital projects. My role at LG2 allows me to support a big team of multidisciplinary talents, oversee the evolution of innovative solutions, and ensure the success of major mandates for a variety of clients.

I'm Romain Avalle, an interactive developer who's been making the web move for 20 years.

It started in 2006, fresh out of Gobelins: I moved to London barely speaking English, collected glasses in Shoreditch clubs, then landed my first dev job as a Flash developer at LingoBee, yeah... Remember Flash???

Back in Paris, I spent five years at 5emegauche crafting sites for Dior, Bulgari and Van Cleef & Arpels, then went freelance alongside studios like Stink, Upian, BETC and Rally Interactive.

Amsterdam came next with Wonderland, then Montréal with LG2.

Today I'm Team Lead & Tech Lead at REF Digital, where I lead dev teams and ship complex digital projects, from first sketch to production. I care about technical rigor without the jargon, real collaboration with designers and clients, and quality that holds up in production. Behind the scenes, I help shape how we work: R&D, hiring, training, and cutting friction out of the process.
Twenty years in, I still get the same kick when something on screen comes alive.
