My path was not shaped by a traditional academic mould. I hold a degree in software development, but school and I never really worked together over the long run. I learned fast, often with ease, but I never quite felt in the right place. Technology, however, entered my life very early: my uncle, a collector and passionate Apple enthusiast, passed that world on to me as a child. I got my first Mac at 10, then started coding at 11 in BASIC on a Thomson TO7. Still, it was only when I entered the professional world that things truly clicked: concrete problems, operational constraints, teams, incidents, and products that have to work for real users.

I started in operations for several years, working on critical mobile telephony platforms at Orange, before moving into team leadership. That first chapter gave me a strong culture of reliability, responsibility and systems that cannot afford to fail. I later moved into innovation, as Product Manager and Product Designer for an internal tool linked to mobile app store submissions. That is where my Apple story came back to the centre: discovering iOS development through a colleague and friend who was an expert in the field, then learning Swift on my own. After once promising myself I would never become a developer, I realised this craft could also be a place of creation, precision and joy.

Things accelerated in streaming. At OCS, then Molotov TV and CANAL+, I worked on apps used at scale, with strong expectations around quality, performance and user experience. I led mobile, web, TV and backend teams, drove full rebuilds, improved architectures, built video players, and worked alongside designers, product managers and developers with one shared goal: shipping products that are more robust, easier to evolve and more enjoyable to use.

For a long time, I had personal app ideas without taking the time to build them. The arrival of AI changed that balance. It helped me move faster, prototype, iterate and, most importantly, respond to needs very close to home. MyMediBox was born that way: an app designed to help my wife in her daily life, so she would not forget her medication, renewals, and all the details that make health management heavier than it should be.

Alivency was born from that crossing point: hands-on experience built in demanding environments, a passion for well-crafted digital products, and the desire to turn useful ideas into concrete applications. At 42, I chose to open a new page and start an entrepreneurial journey with an independent studio, able to create its own products while supporting teams on ambitious technical challenges, as I do today with BeReal.
