About me

I was born in France and I currently live in Los Angeles with my family, after I spent about 10 years in the San Francisco Bay Area.

I'm the Head of Engineering at Lightspark where I lead our awesome team to deliver on our mission to bring open payments to the internet. I'm also a full stack developer, which means I know just enough to be dangerous everywhere and break most things.

In the past few years, I have been enjoying the fintech world and the crypto industry, first at Novi, and now at Lightspark. Before that, I spent a few years at Facebook, working on their internal tools, both as an IC and a manager. I also worked at/founded several startups, including Mindie, Ubleam, and Plixee.
