Bio

I'm a software engineer at VISEO, a technology consultancy in Paris, where I work on distributed systems, data infrastructure, and internal tooling for enterprise clients.

Outside of work, I'm a videographer and content creator — I approach filmmaking with the same systems-thinking mindset I bring to code: every cut, grade, and composition is a deliberate decision, not an accident.

I write about the things I'm figuring out: performance engineering, developer tooling, WebAssembly, Rust, and occasionally the intersection of technology and film craft.
