What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster community engagement and innovation in technology.

I am an Engineering and Community Leader with over 15 years of experience, specializing in mobile, front-end, data services, and applications. My focus is on enhancing developer experience, building communities, and advocating for technical advancements. As the Co-Founder of Tech Connection, I have dedicated myself to creating vibrant communities and organizing conferences that cater to the mobile, Web, and Gen AI ecosystems.

At Tech Connection, I lead initiatives such as Swift Connection, one of the leading iOS Development conferences globally, and the first French network for AI-Assisted Development, 'Dev with AI.' My role involves organizing talks, workshops, and meetups to foster growth within the developer community. I am also a speaker at various international conferences, sharing insights on technology and innovation.

Currently, I serve as the Engineering Lead for Generative AI at Hymaïa, where I lead engineering efforts and consult on full-stack application development and generative AI adoption strategies. My passion for technology and community building drives me to continuously seek new ways to engage and empower developers.
