Who am I?

Passionate about code,
relentless about results.

I wrote my first lines of code at age 10. What started as a hobby became a vocation: understanding how things work, taking them apart, and building them back better.

After a career as a manager, I chose to return to my first love. In 2019-2020, I completed a Fullstack JavaScript certification at IFPA Bordeaux (Angular, NodeJS) and launched my freelance web development business.

Today, I work with SMBs in the Gironde region — and English-speaking businesses based in France — with a simple proposition: agency-quality output, freelancer-level responsiveness and pricing, with a single point of contact from brief to launch.

"I don't deliver websites. I deliver tools that work for you while you sleep."

My journey

From a childhood passion
to professional expertise.

~2000

First lines of code

At age 10, the first programs. HTML, then scripting languages, then attempts at building games. Curiosity turned into method.

Until 2019

Management career

Years leading teams, steering projects, and learning to understand business needs from the inside. An irreplaceable school of rigour and listening.

2019 — 2020

Fullstack JS Certification — IFPA

Official retraining. Intensive Fullstack JavaScript programme at IFPA Bordeaux: Angular, NodeJS, databases, APIs, deployment. A rigorous foundation upgrade.

Since 2020

Freelance — Bespoke websites

Business launched. First clients in Gironde, first Google reviews. Gradual specialisation: eco-design, local SEO, "from scratch" builds without WordPress.

2023 — 2024

AI integration

Continuous learning on LLMs, automation (n8n, Make), GEO (Generative Engine Optimization). AI enters the toolkit as a growth lever for clients.

What I stand for

Values, not
marketing slogans.

◎

Transparency

A clear quote, a delivery date that holds, decisions that are explained. You always know where your project stands and why I made each technical choice.

✦

Lasting performance

I don't build beautiful sites that slow down in 6 months. I eco-design robust, fast, and maintainable tools built to last. Your investment must hold.

◊

Local commitment

Based in Pessac, I'm part of the Gironde business community. Your success feeds mine. This isn't offshore outsourcing — it's a neighbourhood partnership.
