I'm a tech enthusiast currently based between Paris and London, where I study and explore everything related to product, design, and systems. I've also lived in Montreal and San Francisco.
Outside of work, I'm passionate about windsurfing which is obviously super convenient when you live in Paris or London. Until I figure out how to sail the Seine, I'm compensating with padel. Let me know if you ever need a partner — I play on the right!

Short introduction
For over a year, I've been working at Lazo, a B2B tech startup. I contribute across product and operations, refining the platform as it scales. Alongside that, I'm running BoostAi Consulting — a solo project where I experiment with AI tools and automation to help freelancers and small teams move faster.
I love exploring new ideas and sharing what I build.
From events to product
Before working in tech, I spent a good amount of time in the event industry. I worked as head of waiter or event coordinator — I ran weddings, corporate gigs, and more. It's not what I wanted to do forever, but I'm really glad I went through it. I learned a lot. Honestly, even today, when I go to a wedding, I still think about how the backstage is running. Can't unsee it.
I split my time between London and Paris — London for school, Paris for work (and because there's always something happening there).
My job in a startup
I've worked at Lazo for over a year now. It started small, and now I'm deeply involved in product and operations. I manage sprint cycles, define priorities, assign tasks to developers, and keep things moving across teams. It reminds me of event management sometimes: nothing goes exactly as planned, and that's where I perform best.
My scope has grown as the team has. I've worked directly with the founders, collaborated with the growth team, and supported devs by structuring processes. I also helped roll out tools like Intercom, and trained customer success and marketing teams to adopt them.
Tools I work with
I've designed interfaces in Figma (UX/UI), automated flows using Zapier and Notion databases, handled data with SQL, and recently started coding front-end features in JavaScript — mostly using AI as a sidekick. That journey also helped me understand GitHub and how to ship more confidently.

BoostAi Consulting
On the side, I've been developing a personal project called BoostAi Consulting.
I won't say it is a business for now but more a lab. I build things that are useful for freelancers and small teams: automated scripts for competitive intelligence, agents that look for job opportunities, tools that save people time.
I can't go full-time on it for now and that's fine. My goal isn't profit. It's learning, testing, and staying curious. And honestly, it's already taught me way more than I expected.
How I work
I wouldn't call myself a dev or a designer — but I know enough to speak both languages and connect dots. What I enjoy the most is designing systems, organizing chaos, and shaping how people and tools interact.
How I think in systems
I'm also very reactive to pressure. The more intense the deadline, the more I go into "flow mode".
Daily coffee, occasional Red Bull, no headphones though (they just throw me off), I've pulled entire nights debugging Python scripts or redesigning interfaces just to get something out the door.
I like that kind of intensity.
Outside of work
Most evenings, I'm either working on personal projects or cooking. I like doing real meals: tajines, lasagna — food that takes time. On weekends, I ride my bike or slow down a bit.
I also try to read when I can, mostly during breaks or holidays.
And of course, I travel as much as I can. I have family in Asia, and going back there regularly feels essential.
What's next?
No long-term plan for now.
Maybe I'll launch my own product. Maybe I'll move back to the South of France, where I'm from.
What matters most is that I keep learning, keep building, and keep moving forward.
