Software developer · Curious builder · Self-hosting enthusiast
I like building things, breaking them, understanding why, and building them better.
I'm a developer based in France. I started programming in 2021, initially exploring JavaScript, web development and Discord bots. Since then, my interests have grown into backend engineering, native applications, AI experimentation and infrastructure.
I enjoy working across the stack: designing an interface, building the API behind it, optimizing native code, or deploying the whole thing on my own servers. I also like understanding how technologies work under the hood instead of treating them as black boxes.
Not everything I build is meant to become a product. Some projects are practical tools, others are experiments, and a few exist simply because I wanted to see whether I could make them work.
| Area | Technologies & interests |
|---|---|
| Web & frontend | TypeScript, JavaScript, Vue, Nuxt, HTML, CSS, Tailwind CSS |
| Backend & APIs | Node.js, Java, Spring, REST APIs, authentication, integrations |
| Systems & native | Rust, C++, concurrency, performance, native tooling |
| AI & audio | Neural networks, inference, speech synthesis, experimental autonomous systems |
| Data | PostgreSQL, MySQL / MariaDB, SQLite, Redis |
| Infrastructure | Docker, Linux, Nginx, Proxmox, self-hosting, CI/CD |
These are areas I use or explore at different levels—not a claim to have mastered every tool on the list.
|
An experimental AI application and systems project built around a host, gateway, distributed bridges and nodes, and desktop / Android clients. Focus: Rust, system architecture, AI experimentation, distributed components. |
A project exploring configurable dashboards, visual editing and data-driven interfaces. Focus: TypeScript, Vue / Nuxt, UI architecture, data visualization. |
|
An API for rendering HTML, Vue and React templates into PNG or JPEG images using Puppeteer. Focus: Node.js, browser automation, image generation, API design. |
An experimental project in native audio and speech synthesis. Focus: C++, audio processing, inference and performance. |
Some repositories are ongoing experiments or works in progress. Public source code does not necessarily mean a project is ready for production use.
- Understand the fundamentals. I enjoy learning what happens beneath frameworks and libraries.
- Own the full lifecycle. From architecture and implementation to deployment and maintenance.
- Experiment without being afraid to restart. Prototypes are a way to learn, not a promise of perfection.
- Keep improving. I care about performance, maintainability, documentation and developer experience.
I started out making Discord-related projects, and I still enjoy communities, games, unusual hardware and side projects that combine software with real-world devices. Sometimes the most interesting ideas are the ones that don't fit neatly into a portfolio category.

Always building something. Occasionally finishing it, too.
