“There are more possible games of chess than there are atoms in the universe. It means that if you make a mistake, there's a nearly infinite amount of ways to fix it.”

— Harold Finch, Person of Interest

I'm a full stack developer. I'm also a startup founder. I wrote my first lines when I was eleven, crafting tiny console games just to see how far imagination and a keyboard could take me. Today I'm studying software engineering at ÉTS in Montréal, co‑running a developpement agency with a designer friend, and polishing my entrepreneurial instincts at HEC Montréal's incubator. The thrill of turning sketches into products still feels exactly like those first after-school experiments.

Leaving France for Montréal and then Taiwan taught me the value of getting comfortable with uncertainty. Montréal opened doors I didn't even know existed, connecting me with people whose ideas reshaped how I think. A semester in Taiwan deepened that sense of exploration, introducing me to different ways of living, learning, and navigating the unknown. Each new place continues to teach me something irreplaceable about perspective.

When I'm not staring at code, I'm usually out exploring cities or lost in books on psychology. I find endless inspiration in urban architecture, the hidden stories behind every building, and long walks that spark unexpected ideas. Staying plugged into AI developments and new tech tools is both a necessity and something I genuinely enjoy. Beyond tech, I'm deeply intrigued by psychology and existentialist philosophy, because figuring out meaning is just as compelling as building things that work.
