I build everything tech

Hey there! I'm

About me

Builder | Marathon Runner | Thinker

Originally from the South of France and now based in Zurich, I build technology I care about. My focus is on crafting the best possible product, from concept to execution. I move fast.

In my free time, I'm always pushing my limits—whether I'm training for a marathon (current best: 3:24), hitting the gym, cycling, cooking, recording music, or diving into greek philosophy.
