About Me
Over the past 7 years, I have worked for a large number of startups and companies, as CTO or full stack web developer, in Paris, New York and more recently in London.
Since 2015 I regularly launch new projects with my business partners. My area of expertise covers writing technical specifications to business plan design, as well as developing and managing marketing campaigns.
As a full stack web developer, I have the experience and knowledge to create an effective MVP and quickly try a new project idea on the market.
I mainly use the lean startup methods.
