I didn't come from tech, from code:
I came from sales, from human connection, from Aikido.
A professional life built on curiosity
as much as necessity.
For much of my life, I worked in sales: understanding clients, adapting to constantly changing contexts.
Then came the passion for Aikido: first as a practitioner, then as an instructor.
After earning a Federal Patent — (a volunteer teaching diploma),
I passed on this discipline to students of all ages.
Finally, a quest for meaning: combining my passion for coding with human contact.
Which led to a career change — starting from scratch — into web development.
As a freelancer.
It's not a straight line.
But it taught me to stay curious, to never assume I already know.
In Aikido, this mindset is called Shoshin — the beginner's mind, rooted in Japanese Zen philosophy.
It gives its name to my practice, and it's what I bring to my work every day.
Since 2023, I've been building custom web applications
for SMEs, startups, and project owners:
tools designed around your business, built with care, made to last.
Nuxt.js, TypeScript, Python, PostgreSQL, Docker — a solid stack, chosen for reliability, not for chasing trends.
What my years outside the tech world gave me is a different way of listening.
Before writing a single line of code, I try to understand what you actually do, where things get stuck, and what you truly need.
I work independently, remotely, from Carcassonne.
No middlemen.
One point of contact, from scoping to launch.
If you have a project in mind:
(even vague, even not yet defined),
I'm available to talk.
