About Me
> Current Focus: AI-Assisted Development
After years of automating infrastructure, I'm now automating the development process itself. Getting more done with less friction, without the hype.
The DevOps mindset applied to coding: I spent years automating server provisioning and deployments. AI-assisted development is the next logical step - automating the repetitive parts of writing code so we can focus on solving interesting problems.
I'm documenting what actually works, building workflows that integrate AI tools into real development processes, and helping other experienced developers do the same. Not theory - practical productivity gains.
> The Journey
Franco-New Zealander based in Grenoble, France. I build production systems that scale, having evolved from entrepreneur and company founder through developer, consultant, project manager, CTO, and tech lead roles.
My path has been unconventional. Started with audiovisual (BTS Audiovisuel - Image), then founded FLVWORKSHOP in 2006 - a company where I wore all the hats from development and SEO to video production and client prospecting.
Built systems for major French clients (government websites, large retailers), education technology platforms, Open Source learning management systems, and led teams creating high-availability infrastructure and microservices architectures.
Currently: Full-stack developer at Veepee (Paris, remote), specializing in GraphQL with Hasura, ReactJS/NodeJS development, and Kubernetes infrastructure.

Passions
Riding the wind and waves when I'm not coding
Grenoble's proximity to the Alps is a blessing
Problem-solving, but vertical
Audiovisual background still influences me
