My daily toolkit includes .ts, .tsx, .js, .css, .svg, .md, and .sh—basically, the tech equivalent of a Swiss Army knife, but with fewer opportunities for accidental injuries. I have a soft spot for NestJS and Next; they’re like my coding buddies who never let me down. They’re the foundation of how I build systems that prioritize simplicity, scalability, and the human experience.

Outside of work, I’ve launched a few side projects that ended up in the digital version of a garage sale where all the buyers are also confused developers. One of my creations actually survived to become a product! The rest? Just delightful hobby prototypes that exist mainly to remind me of my questionable life choices and the beauty of learning through collaboration.

I live near a forest in the south of France, where I assist underground event producers in crafting magical experiences with a secret recipe. Spoiler alert: it involves questionable dance moves and a deep understanding of how collective intelligence turns creative ideas into unforgettable moments.

My current interests include biking (preferably without falling off), music (recently returned to my first love, which, let’s be honest, is just a fancy way of saying I’m still figuring out how to use all my gear at the same time), photography, and hiking whenever I can. These passions remind me of the importance of emotional intelligence—connecting with people, nature, and myself in meaningful ways.

I’m always exploring new technologies—because who doesn’t love a good rabbit hole of endless possibilities? Martin Fowler’s thoughts often guide me, especially his emphasis on people over processes, collaboration over silos, and simplicity over complexity.
