From electronics to the military. From sales to medtech. From crypto to code. Each step fed the next. A rhythm for learning, a rhythm for mastering, a rhythm for moving on. Not a leap — a cadence. Today, a tech architect. Every detour was a shortcut.
001// the journey
Each step fed the next.
I've always moved. Not by chance — by opportunism. When a door opens, I take it. Better that than stagnate.
Vocational diploma in electronics. Then the military, as a network technician. The army teaches you one thing: either it works, or it doesn't. "It works on my machine" is not an argument. No theory — just results.
Montreal. The Source. Tech sales. I learned to listen. Not hear — listen. Understand the need behind the demand. The most advanced tech in the world is worthless if it frustrates the person using it. I learned that selling computers, not programming them.
Then the roadtrip. The Rockies had always fascinated me. A friend shared the same dream — so we built a van and pointed it west. Montreal to Vancouver through the American West. Chicago. Yellowstone at dawn. The desert to Vegas. The Pacific Coast to LA and San Francisco. Thousands of kilometers of just… going. Vancouver was the destination. And it was worth every mile.
Back to Montreal. Thought Technology. Soldering, assembly, EEG sensor testing. Medical devices, strict quality control. An error isn't a bug. It's a patient. Precision isn't a standard — it's a responsibility.
Then crypto. 200 GPUs, infrastructure, automation. I started scripting to manage the farm — smart contracts caught my eye. The more I built, the more I wanted to build. OpenClassrooms, intensive training. That's what brought me back to France. Full commitment. Every step had been leading to code.
First real dev job. Hexoskin, Montreal. Biometric shirts, biofeedback, Angular. FDA-certified medical devices — the kind of precision I'd learned at Thought Technology, now from the software side. From soldering sensors to building the systems that read them. The circle was closing.
002// tech
Under the hood: The obsession with optimization.
Perfection is when there's nothing left to remove. My setup is designed to disappear: CachyOS (Arch Linux), Hyprland, Neovim. Every tool chosen so nothing stands between thought and execution.
Research & AI
VPS deployment, local AI models (Ollama), Agent-Zero experiments, and creating 'skills' for Claude Code.
Front-End Performance
Heavy use of SvelteKit and Astro to generate lightning-fast interfaces and optimal SEO.
Zero Friction
User-centric design: every millisecond saved is one less barrier between the human and the tool.
Power User
Arch Linux, Neovim. A workflow optimized to code at the speed of thought.

You have a project. You want someone who understands precision because they've seen the consequences. Someone who adapts — because that's the one constant.
