My story

Passionate about programming since age 16, I've built my expertise designing complex, high-performance digital solutions. Each project taught me the importance of quality, thoughtful architecture, and understanding the client's business.

With a degree in MIAGE (Applied IT Methods for Business Management), I quickly moved into enterprise web application development. My 8+ years of experience have allowed me to work on critical projects requiring deep expertise in software architecture and distributed systems.

Based in Brittany, I work both on-site with clients in the Rennes area and remotely on projects across France. My approach combines technical rigor, business pragmatism, and clear communication to deliver truly useful solutions.

Today, I help companies transform their ideas into robust, performant, and maintainable solutions. My role is to be a true technical and strategic partner.

« Good technical solutions must first solve a real business problem. Technical complexity is only justified if it delivers value. »
