Startup Founder · Product Builder · Engineer
I turn ambitious ideas into products people use, combining founder speed with deep technical and mathematical rigor.
I've launched five ventures, grown a product to 2,000+ users, won over $20K in competitive grants, and now hold a 2-for-2 hackathon record. I move quickly from insight to prototype to traction, while my Mathematics and Physics background at Paris-Saclay helps me take on technically ambitious problems.
Major of Double Licence (Mathematics & Physics)
GPA: 18.4/20
Ranked 1st in a highly competitive dual-degree program at France's top-ranked university for mathematics.

Created a visual, no-code editor that lets anyone build custom Discord bots. Won a $15,000 grant through Discord's App Pitches program.
Built a digital identity layer that lets AI agents authenticate, make payments, place phone calls, and perform real-world actions securely.
Built and launched a full LMS with real-time collaborative whiteboards in under two months. Grew organically to 2,000+ students and 260 teachers.
Co-founded a fashion-tech startup connecting physical apparel to interactive digital experiences through integrated QR technology.
Founded a product and web studio helping SMEs turn ideas into high-performance digital experiences focused on conversion and brand storytelling.
Published research exploring the Ising Model and its application to Sudoku, investigating phase transitions in constraint-satisfaction problems. Includes Monte Carlo simulations (Metropolis-Hastings) across n-dimensions with analysis of magnetization, susceptibility, and critical temperature.
Numerical simulation and interactive 3D visualization of chaotic trajectories. Investigation of sensitivity to initial conditions and spectral analysis of pseudo-periods.
Stochastic optimization methods combining Minimax with alpha-beta pruning. Developed a genetic algorithm for multi-parameter optimization with a custom GUI.
