Introduction
Engineering leader based in Paris with 15+ years building and scaling product teams that ship. From structuring high-growth startups like Yassir and LeCab to working with established organizations like McDonald's and BNP Paribas. I focus on systems that matter: clear career frameworks, sustainable technical foundations, and products people actually want to use. The hardest part is not the code; it's aligning people, priorities, and capabilities to deliver products that count. I believe in transparency and that the best solutions come from understanding both the technical system and the humans building it.
