- 📍 France / Provins (near Paris)
- 💻 🌍 Remote from France
- 🚀 Currently Founding Engineer @ Méthode Aristote (part of Cartesia Education group)
💼 11+ years in tech ecosystem — After a decade in leadership roles (CTO, VP Engineering, Engineering Manager), I've deliberately gone back to being hands-on as a Founding/Staff Engineer. Why? To sharpen my technical edge and come back to leadership stronger.
🤖 AI-first mindset: I've fully embraced the AI revolution and use it daily in my workflow. Check out my Claude Code Ultimate Guide — a comprehensive resource for mastering AI-assisted development.
My journey:
- 🎓 Computer engineering degree / French Engineer school @UTT
- 🎩 Leadership : Attract talent & onboard them, scale company processes, build & develop engineering culture, tech & human problem solving, mentor & coach, improve team efficiency & velocity, animate passion through events (meetups, workshops...). Replays of previous meetups : https://bit.ly/3g7VmBh
- 💻 Tech : Fullstack developer, preference for backend (TypeScript / Ruby / Python & SQL databases) & infra (AWS/GCP, serverless, Kubernetes)
- 🛠 Product : Built and maintained several SAAS tools and solutions (B2B, B2C) & cross device (web, mobile) in agile methodology
- 🕸️ Domains : SaaS / E-commerce / Data / B2B & B2C / EdTech / AI
- 👷 Roles : Founding Engineer / CTPO / CTO / VP of Engineering / Engineering Manager / Staff Engineer
- 🌱 → 🌳 Company stages : Early stage & post seed (hands-on CTO, CTPO), post Series A (CTO), scale-up & post buyout (EM, VP Eng), SMEs
- 🧑🤝🧑 Team size : from 4 to 150 people, built & scaled several teams from scratch, managed up to 30 tech people

Passionate since my youngest age, deeply geek, I solve problems by combining the power of the human mind and the machine. Still learning every day — I like to "go to bed less stupid than the day before!"
- 💻 Stack : TypeScript (Next.js 14+, Nest.js, tRPC), Ruby (Rails), Python (Data & AI), SQL & NoSQL databases
