About me
Intro
Full-stack full range service from consulting, development to risk management. Only interested in quant-driven projects that I like to consult on and deliver from back, front and devops. Full project missions only. No on-site constraints. I recommend a quote per project with assurance of timely delivery - rather than a daily quote.

Feedzy (“Feedback Easy”) helps local businesses collect more authentic customer reviews by removing the friction of writing them. https://www.feedzy-hub.com/ What it does: Customers talk by phone; Feedzy turns that conversation into a review they can publish in one click. Merchants don’t chase feedback by hand — the platform schedules contact, runs an AI voice call, then sends a simple link to confirm and publish. How it works (customer journey): SMS invites the customer to pick a call slot An automated AI call collects their feedback naturally Post-call SMS with a page to review and publish Positioning: Satisfied customers often never leave a review because it’s too much effort. Feedzy replaces “log in and write” with “speak for a minute.” Reviews stay verified and unedited, what was said is what gets published. Marketing claim: +58% more reviews collected, with less follow-up and less friction. Audience: French merchants / service businesses that need public reviews (and a verified local caller ID for outbound calls).
