Programming has something in common with chess. I like to believe the more you think before the next move, the better the solution you end up with.

Behind the code
Three moments that led here.

That’s me on the right! 2006 · Chapter oneProblem-solving
Playing chess as a kid shaped how I work today: thinking ahead, staying focused, being accountable for my own decisions.
Coding feels much the same. The same focus, where time fades away while I look for the solution that is clear and efficient.

2016–2021 · Chapter twoMaster’s degree
More than academics: five years that turned programming and entrepreneurship into the thing I wanted to do, fuelled by the brilliant minds I had the chance to study and work with.

January 2025 · Chapter threeNew chapter
I left France for Andorra, a small country in the Pyrenees. Since then I’ve worked with international companies and met inspiring people, in a peaceful and rewarding place.
What I build with
Honestly — whatever the job needs. In the AI era what matters is the principles and knowing what a tool is for, far more than the list you happen to have used before. But if you wonder, here is what I specialised in, pre-AI.
TypeScript
React
Next.js- Accessibility
- Internationalisation
Node.js
GraphQL- REST
- Databases
- Unit tests
- End-to-end tests
- A/B tests
- CI/CD
Who I have built for
Memorable projects, meaningful partnerships.
How I work
-
Think ahead.
I’d rather find the clear move than the first one. Most of the work is in the reading, not the typing.
-
Build it to last.
Tests, CI, accessibility and i18n are not a phase at the end. They are what makes the thing still standing a year later.
-
Work to your clock.
Remote from Andorra, in your timezone, wherever the team is. You get a person in the standup, not a status report.
-
Use AI, keep the discipline.
It is part of how I work now, at speed — under the same review, the same tests and the same accountability as everything else.
