Engineering Manager at Le Wagon

Lucien's career at Le Wagon spanned from January 2019 to December 2021, progressing through several roles: Teaching Assistant, Lead Teacher and Software Engineer, and finally Engineering Manager.

As a teacher, he taught hundreds of students to code in 9-week web development and data science bootcamps. He loved deeply understanding topics before giving lectures to make sure he could answer any question. His first lecture was a memorable moment — he was so stressed he started prepping two months in advance, and his co-workers made fun of him for it. With practice he grew to genuinely enjoy lecturing. He went from being terrified of public speaking to loving it, finding joy in sharing knowledge and watching students apply concepts in hands-on challenges after each lecture.

After Le Wagon the bootcamp, he freelanced as a Ruby on Rails developer for a startup working out of the Le Wagon offices so he could also be a teaching assistant on the London batches. A few months later he was offered a full-time position.

As Engineering Manager, he was the technical lead of Le Wagon's B2B platform and office management app. He introduced weekly one-on-ones, created tailored upskilling roadmaps, and set clear career goals to help each engineer grow. He was responsible for the growth of the London dev team.
