Welcome to my website!

I'm Valentin Hervieu from France and I am in my thirties.

I work as a Founding Product Engineer for elba from the French Riviera (Here's my résumé). I enjoy making software and you can check my GitHub profile if you want to see my projects.

Work experience

Projects

react-easy-crop

A React component library to crop images with easy interactions. I've started to implement this component at work for the listing form of Ricardo.ch.
Then, I thought it was a nice project and I decided to continue working on it on my personal time and made it open-source with the agreement of my employer.
Today, it has been downloaded near 100 million times on NPM.

Medicalist

medicalist.fr
This is a react-native application to manage your medicines and learn about them. As this is using open-data from the French government, it is only available in French.
  • Scan medicine boxes using their QR code or barcode
  • Keep track of your stock and add personal notes
  • Search for any medicine
  • Medicine record with all needed information: usage, dosage, composition, price, leaflet, etc.

AngularJS Slider

This was the most used slider directive for AngularJS 1.X with more than 3 million downloads on NPM.
I did not start this project, but I was the main maintainer between 2015 and 2022. During this time, I have added many features, full test coverage, a documentation website and handle all issues and pull requests.

I use this website as a playground to try new things. At the moment, it is built with Typescript, TanStack Start and Tailwind. I have written an article about how I used Google Photos to host my pictures gallery.
