I build products, not theories
Télécom Nancy graduate. 14 years coding, hiring, architecting and shipping. Five startups founded, six technical leadership positions — every time with my hands in the code AND in the strategy.
G8te, Startalers, Cruxpool, Distillerie Sainte-Barbe, By Outfitter — AI, fintech, crypto, spirits, e-commerce. 30+ products shipped, teams of 3 to 30 engineers structured, systems handling millions of requests. I don't sell advice — I build alongside you. Since 2025, Claude Code drives the code, I drive the product.

What they say
His ability to grasp the commercial context of projects very quickly sets him apart from most technical experts. He defines clear 'definition of done' to ship what is genuinely useful to clients. Solid — someone you can count on.
