Systems architecture & applied AI

I build the tools that help your business grow.

I listen to how your business works, I pin down what you need, then I build your project and see it through to the end. AI where it really saves you time, with guardrails designed in from day one.

How I work

  1. 01

    I listen

    We start from your business, not the technology: where you lose time, what gets in the way, what already works.

  2. 02

    I plan

    You leave with a clear plan: what to build, in what order, for what budget. A quote that is easy to read, with no surprises.

  3. 03

    I build

    Tools made to fit you, connected to what you already use, with AI where it pays off, and guardrails to keep it under control.

  4. 04

    I follow through

    Launch, documentation, follow-up: you keep one person who knows your project, not a ticket number.

Industrial quotes prepared by an AI that cannot make up a price

An assistant that prepares quotes for metal fabrication parts from the dimensions and the company's own rules. Every amount comes out marked “to be approved”: a human signs it off. I also deployed the infrastructure and the website.

A Junior-Entreprise, from founding to client projects

A student-run consulting firm, co-founded by three students in 2024. I built its website, infrastructure and ERP, and I was lead developer on client projects, including a complete news website for a local media outlet.

My infrastructure, from server rack to cloud

A complete infrastructure that I run every day: servers at home and in the cloud, e-mail that reaches its recipients, encrypted backups with tested restores, and VIGIE, my home-made monitoring tool, which alerts me on my phone.

All my courses in a single tool

The hub I built for my semester in Belgium: course materials, notes and exercises in one place, in an interface designed for working fast. Built for one student, designed for a whole school.

The inventory of my maker lab

Every tool, component and consumable is labelled, and a single scan is enough to find it. AI can look through the inventory, but no tool lets it delete anything.

What I can do for you

Every project is different: we talk it through first, then I quote.

Free

First conversation

30 minutes to understand what you need and tell you honestly whether I can help.

Quoted per project

Assessment

I map how your business runs, spot where you lose time and hand you a costed action plan, step by step.

Quoted per project

Custom-built tool

The tool your business is missing (quotes, tracking, documents, automation), built into what you already use, with AI where it helps.

Quoted per project

Technical foundation

Hosting, tested backups, monitoring, e-mail that reaches its recipients: a solid, documented base so you can work with peace of mind.

Quoted per project

AI tool review

Built something with AI? I check that it can be trusted, fix what needs fixing and put the guardrails in place.

Quoted per project

Ongoing support

Updates, monitoring and small improvements: your tool stays reliable over time.

What I don't do, so you know up front: no hardware, no industrial automation, no safety systems. My field is software and data.

Not just the technical side

A successful project starts with a need that is well understood and a clear framework. I take care of that as much as the code.

General secretary of a Junior-Entreprise (a student-run consulting firm) since 2024: legal matters, partners, client project follow-up.

  • Speaking your language

    We talk deadlines, budget and return on investment. The technical side is my job.

  • Everything above board

    A detailed quote, written commitments, personal data handled by the book: no grey areas.

  • Close follow-up

    I keep track of every project and keep you updated without you having to chase me.

My background

I've been coding since 2020, well before AI joined in. It speeds up my work; it doesn't replace what I learned by hand.

Before AI · I learned the nuts and bolts by hand
  1. 2020Association

    My first code in production

    Four years of volunteer full-stack development for Reality Zoned, an esports association: the tournament management app, Discord bots, OBS and Chrome extensions, stream production setups. In PHP, MySQL and Node.js.

  2. 2022Volunteering

    First-aid team member

    More than two years with the Haute-Vienne branch of the Protection Civile, a French volunteer civil-protection organisation: team first aid (PSE1, PSE2) and first-aid cover at events.

  3. Late 2022Studies

    A first tool for other people

    In the preparatory cycle at 3iL, I wrote a timetable API for students: their classes, always up to date, straight in their calendar. In TypeScript, in ICS format.

  4. 2023Studies

    Web development internship

    An educational app on the MEAN stack (MongoDB, Express, Angular, Node.js), at 3iL.

  8. Autumn 2024Work

With AI · I move faster, with guardrails
  1. Late 2025Personal

    AI plugged into the tools

    I got to grips with MCP, the protocol that connects AI models to a company's tools, and wrote about it in December 2025. Since then, all my APIs have been AI-ready from the design stage.

  2. Summer 2026Personal

    My infrastructure, from rack to cloud

    More than ten machines, encrypted backups with tested restores, VIGIE for monitoring, and documentation that describes everything, layer by layer.

  3. September 2026Studies

    A semester in Mons

    An exchange semester at the Haute École en Hainaut, in Belgium. There I am building Hangar, the hub that brings all my courses together.
