Agentic Software Engineer & Product Designer 🇫🇷
Building the future where AI agents and humans collaborate to create better software.
I specialize in agentic software engineering — designing teams of AI agents to ensure quality and security in software architectures. With a senior background in development and project management, I blend technical excellence with thoughtful product design.
Core expertise:
- 🤖 Agentic AI Architectures & LLM Systems
- 🎨 Product Design (UI/UX)
- 📱 Mobile & Web Development (Flutter, React, Swift, Kotlin)
- 🏗️ Software Architecture & Security
- 👥 Hybrid Team Management (Humans + Agents)
- 🎓 Computer Science (IUT) + Innovation & IT Management (MT2I, IAE)
- 🚀 7 years in startups: from intern → CTO & Product Designer
- 🏢 Co-founder of a tech company
- 👨🏫 Lecturer at IUT, Campus Numérique, My Digital School
I've been passionate about hardware since forever — tinkering, building, understanding how things work from the ground up. This hands-on curiosity naturally evolved into software, robotics, and now agentic systems.
Vision: I dream of building sovereign European digital technology and robotics 🇪🇺 — reducing our dependence on US/China tech and creating homegrown innovation that reflects our values.

I believe great work comes from motivation, trust, and collaboration. Quality isn't just about tools and methods — it's about the people and the culture.
Inspirations:
- 📐 Donald Norman & Jakob Nielsen — design thinking & UX theory
- 🎬 Ed Catmull — leadership, creativity, and team dynamics
- 🎭 Alexandre Astier — creative perseverance and storytelling
Some books that shaped my thinking:
- The Design of Everyday Things — Donald Norman
- Creativity, Inc. — Ed Catmull
- Deep Work — Cal Newport
- Clean Code — Robert C. Martin
- Peak — Anders Ericsson
I juggle multiple side projects — from mobile apps to web experiments to robotics tinkering. Some highlights:
- 📱 PickleFid — Loyalty card app (iOS)
- 🔍 MCP Explorer — Android app for exploring Model Context Protocol
- 🏃 PacingQuest — Health & pacing tracking app
- 🤖 Agentic workflows — Building AI-powered dev teams
