Introduction

Freelance audio consultant specializing in premium audio systems with 13 years of experience, including 8 years at Devialet on world-renowned products (Mania, Dione, Phantom Ultimate). I help companies tackle their toughest acoustic and DSP challenges, from design to market. MY APPROACH I cover the entire audio chain: from initial acoustic design to custom DSP algorithms, embedded implementation, and final tuning through critical listening. Rare dual expertise: high-level academic research (PhD from IRCAM in control and modeling) combined with industrial experience on premium and mass-market products.
