What I do.
Parcoursoup
For every course on Parcoursup, France's university admissions platform: what AI already does in the jobs it leads to, whether employers are still hiring, and what becomes of graduates.
MumExpat
The guide for French-speaking mums moving abroad with their kids: 39 cities, schools, healthcare, paperwork, and over 1,000 Facebook groups.
MercatoFirst
A CRM for football agents. A supercharged address book, a pipeline with contract-expiry alerts, outreach over WhatsApp.
BooKeeper
A platform to book a goalkeeper by the hour, for amateur clubs and teams who need a keeper for one match, one date, one level.
10–12 h · a day I code.
Never learned. Always understood the principles, I was just too lazy to practise them. For the past two months I've been having a blast.
Today code is free and flawless; back then it was hugely expensive and deeply flawed.
photography All on iPhone.
Never liked big DSLRs and their lenses. I shoot on the latest iPhone: the tool should disappear, the spontaneity should stay.
cycling Cycling.
I love cycling. I used to race; it's less of a priority today, but it's still there.

What obsesses me.

How the world is going to survive AI.
- 02
How society is going to change.
- 03
How to give children the best now, rather than fix things afterwards.
I'm not really a school person. I'm anti-school, actually.
