Location: Paris, France

Remote: Remote first, but I enjoy spending time with my collaborators (especially at the beginning of a mission) and traveling for work from time to time.

Willing to relocate: Temporarily, depending on the job but not for more than 6 months.

Technologies: Can learn anything web related very quickly but I'm especially proficient as a full stack working with a boring Python/Django/PostgreSQL stack. I enjoy working with Vue.js or Svelte but I will keep using HTMX or Alpine.js whenever I can out of simplicity. Happy to use low-code tools and vibe code stuff when it makes sense. I can also use Cloud solutions (GCP, Render, Heroku, AWS) or administrate a Linux server.

Python/Django specialist looking for projects bridging tech and visual arts. Currently available for freelance work. I bring 5+ years building production software—from co-founding a legal tech startup where I wore every hat from Linux sysadmin to team lead, to a recent stint at Louis Vuitton on JS/TypeScript. Comfortable across the stack, with particular depth in data pipelines, ML/computer vision, and making things work reliably at scale. M.S. in Computer Science (computer vision) from Sorbonne, dual B.S. in Math & CS, plus a foundation year in applied arts. This mix shows up in my work—I care about both what's under the hood and what users actually see.

I'm quite good with people and enjoy being part of a team. Looking for interesting projects at the intersection of software and visual/creative domains, or anything hardware / real world related -- but honestly, I enjoy hard problems wherever they live.

Open to contracts, part-time collaborations, or interesting project-based work. Based in Paris, remote-friendly.

Don't hesitate to get in touch. ;-)

Regards.
