About
I’m a software engineer who likes owning a product from the first schema to the last screen. I graduated from EFREI Paris in 2026, after an apprenticeship building research software at IRD and an internship on Dataiku’s charts team.
Outside work, I build and ship my own products, like a multiplayer word game and an LLM rewriting tool.
I’m looking for a software engineering role in France or remote, where I can work across backend and product.
