Serris, France
As a technology consultant, I specialize in helping enterprises and startups overcome challenges, scale operations, and deliver innovative, sustainable solutions. My work spans strategic management, technical leadership, and investor support, ensuring every project aligns with business objectives and creates lasting value. With expertise in SaaS, Web2/Web3, I focus on driving growth and operational excellence through cutting-edge technology. I thrive in 3-18 month missions, collaborating with clients to transform complex challenges into opportunities. By bridging the gap between technology and business, I empower organizations to optimize processes, reduce costs, and innovate at scale. My expertise includes strategic leadership and business value creation, where I combine entrepreneurial vision with technology strategies to align initiatives with business goals. I’ve helped businesses identify market opportunities, prepare for fundraising rounds, and support M&A efforts, ensuring long-term success. On the technical side, I lead cross-functional teams to build scalable cloud-native infrastructures, microservices, and event-driven systems. I develop technology roadmaps, mitigate risks, and foster collaboration through Agile practices. In the realm of Web3 and blockchain, I’ve designed token architectures and tokenomics models to drive sustainability, developed secure smart contracts (Solidity), and launched decentralized applications tailored to client needs. My full-stack development skills include creating robust backend systems with Java, Go, Python, Rust and Node.js, as well as crafting intuitive frontend interfaces using Angular/React. I also specialize in mobile development (Android/NativeScript) to deliver user-friendly solutions. Additionally, I excel in AI and data science, leveraging frameworks like PyTorch and TensorFlow to derive actionable insights. My DevOps expertise includes implementing CI/CD pipelines and scalable systems (Kubernetes, AWS/GCP)
