Typical response time: under 24 hours.

Weekdays, in French or English. Weekends I'm usually surfing or racing shallots for dinner — messages still arrive, I just answer them Monday.

Before you write

A few answers.

Are you open to freelance?+

Yes, for backend engagements under 3 months. Node, TypeScript, GraphQL, Elasticsearch, voice platforms — those are where I add the most value. Send a brief and I'll tell you honestly if I'm the right fit.

Do you work remotely?+

Yes. I'm based in Paris but open to hybrid or fully-remote roles across Europe. For in-person work I typically head in 2–3 days a week.

What kind of projects excite you?+

Systems with real users, real constraints and real stakes. Public-interest products, media, audio, infrastructure. Teams that value correctness, care about observability, and don't ship on Fridays.

Can you lead a team?+

I've led teams up to eight engineers as a Scrum Master and as a tech lead. I'm happiest when I'm coding at least half the week — pure management isn't the right seat for me, but tech leadership is.

What about AI / ML?+

I've shipped voice apps powered by NLP pipelines and I'm curious about the current wave — but I'm not a researcher. If you need ML infrastructure, APIs around inference, or production hardening around model serving, yes. If you need novel model work, no.
