The story so far

Passionate about technology since childhood, I started out creating UGC content freelance on gaming platforms. I shipped code and built projects with 30+ clients in France, the US, Canada and worldwide, on professional projects reaching thousands of players.

Now an engineering student at Institut Mines-Télécom, I’m specializing in AI and software engineering. I’m looking for the next step for 2027: a professional internship in this field I’m passionate about, at a high-impact company.

I follow the frontier closely and build with it: agentic coding with Claude Code, CS50 AI in progress, and my own LLM companion on the way.

Gaming

Retro, Minecraft and sandbox worlds, dungeon crawlers, hacking games, pixel art. You are reading the proof.

AI companion

Work in progress

My own LLM will soon answer your questions right here. Until then, I’m the one answering, so feel free to get in touch.
