Director of Data & Technology. I build things: data platforms at work, small Python and AI projects at home. Avgeek.

I've spent the last ten years at Areka, a business travel advisory firm in Paris. I joined as a BI consultant. Today I run data, AI and IT for the whole company.

I got here the long way round: telecom engineering in Bengaluru, two years at Accenture, then a Masters at EPITA in Paris.

What I enjoy most is building. Taking an idea, or something that annoys me, and turning it into something that works. At work that means data platforms and AI that people actually use. At home it's smaller and more personal: tools that give me time back, answer something I'm curious about, or just make my family smile. Most of what's on this page started with "I wish this existed".

I love tech and I try to keep up with whatever is new, at work and at home. I'm also an avgeek. Show me a plane in the sky and I'll tell you the make, the model and the airline. And I watch a lot of football, tennis and Formula 1.

Long haul

The big stuff, at work

What I've built and what I run at Areka. I was one of the first employees, so most of it started from zero.

Product A data and reporting platform, from idea to launch

I led the creation of our SaaS reporting platform: the vision, the features and the roadmap.

AI AI built into the product and how we work

Agents, LLM-powered analytics and automated data engineering, designed, built and governed in-house.

Infra The company's entire IT and data infrastructure

I own it end to end: cloud, data pipelines and models, security, and compliance with GDPR and ISO standards.

People A data and tech team, built from zero

I built the team and still lead it. I stay hands-on.

Clients Demos and client conversations

I run the demos, dig into what clients actually need, and shape the product around it.

The small stuff, at home

Things I build because I want them to exist.

AI Morning Paper Cruising

I was losing the first hour of my day to my phone. So now an AI agent built with Claude writes me a personal newspaper every morning at 6. It covers what I care about, remembers what it already told me, and unlike a feed, it ends.

Aviation Plane-Over-Me Taxiing

An always-on LED display for my living room that shows the plane flying over my head: flight, route, aircraft and altitude. It picks what to show using rules I set, so an A380 or a 747 jumps the queue.

The display cycling through flights over Paris: flight number, route, aircraft type, airline, altitude and distance.
Real output from the project, replaying recorded traffic over Paris.
Games Mini games for my 3-year-old son Taxiing

Small iPad games, starting with a dinosaur runner. Private, behind a login, with games added and removed as he grows. One game from his catalogue is open here for anyone to try.

Dino Dash: an orange dinosaur jumping past a volcano and palm trees, with fruit to collect.
