Hi! Let's work together!
I'm a developer with 9+ years of experience tackling difficult problems.
I have expertise in Full Stack Development, Machine Learning, and AWS/GCP. I excel in cross-functional communication, I have led teams, and I enjoy delivering innovative, scalable and well-designed solutions

My process

Learn

The focus here is to understand the scope of the problem and its needs.
It allows to focus on high impact features and to eliminate assumptions.

Design

Once the problem is clear, ideas are suggested in a rapid feedback cycle.
These ideas are presented as MVPs to avoid unecessary costs to the client.

Build

When a design is validated, it is used as a skeleton to build the final product.
A rapid cycle of validations remains to get a quality product at completion.
Are we a good match?

ImmersedLet your phone teach you

Immersed provides any smartphone owner with a personalized language learning coach with zero effort from the user, all you need to do is use your phone as any other day. Thanks to an AI agent, this app dynamically decides what you need to learn next to speak another language in the same way as you speak your native tongue. It learns your way of speech by learning from your daily inputs on your phone.
I am the technical member of the team and built the entirety of the app. We use NodeJS, to build the REST API, paired with Django to have access to scikit-learn and nltk. The front end is only Android so far but we hope to have an IOS equivalent soon.
