Portfolio Manager & Architect Director
2024 - 2025

Oversee product and project portfolio strategy for DeepTech/confidential computing; act as lead architect, driving C-level prioritization and Agile execution for 50+ engineers. Achieving a 60 % reduction of technical debt in three months and compressing the delivery cycle from three iterations to one, I implemented Lean/Agile methods (Alpha/Beta/Early Adopter loop) and data-driven prioritization. Successfully delivered on a 2-year-old tech debt initiative, reducing the backlog by 60% in three months, dramatically improving system stability. I also established a decentralized architecture for secure payments and confidential AI computation, introduced flow-efficiency metrics, and connected engineering roadmaps to 70 % of company OKRs.

VP of SaaS & Platform Engineering
2023 - 2024

I led the company’s global SaaS transformation, defining platform architecture, commercial model, and IAM framework while securing C-level alignment across three regions. Achieving launch of the first SaaS product in six months and design of modular architecture and pricing in four months, I enabled investor readiness and cross-team collaboration through Terraform-based IaC and DataDog observability. The initiative unified previously independent teams and reduced operational silos by over 50 %.

Co-Founder & CTO
2019 - 2023

I co-founded and scaled a 50 + engineer organization specialized in Web3 and blockchain platforms, ensuring PSAN and SOC2 compliance. Achieving the delivery of four integrated Web3 products used by more than ten clients in production and a 40% reduction in time-to-market, I built a unified architecture for tokenization, MPC wallets, and digital twins and execute the company's technical and post-IPO product roadmap and strategy. . I also led Stripe Connect integration for fiat payments, positioning Eniblock as France’s first blockchain firm to bridge regulated fiat-crypto flows.

Technical Manager, Blockchain
2018 - 2019

Managed €5M+ R&D projects in blockchain innovation for top-tier French enterprises. Acted as a key subject matter expert, advising organizations on decentralized technology architectures and R&D-to-product transition, translating academic research (4 doctoral theses) into concrete use cases and product concepts. Actively advocated for blockchain integration at industry conferences. I Developed more than 10 Proof of Concepts (PoCs) for enterprises, including Air France, Bolloré, SITA, EDF, and La Ville de Lyon, directly translating R&D into product viability. Led 3y national R&D program, Passport for Connected Car (PCC), uniting over ten industrial and insurance stakeholders. Designed the Tezos-based decentralized architecture enabling certified, GDPR-compliant vehicle data exchange across the automotive value chain. Establishing one of the first operational blockchain ecosystems for trusted data monetization in the mobility industry (early NFTs and DAO/Token concept).

Co-Founder & Chief Software Architect
2010 - 2017

Co-founded and scaled the DeepTech company into a leader in simulation-based decision support systems. Pioneered the development of a low-code/no-code platform for modelization. Led the architecture and modeling team (20 PhD modelers, 20 engineers, 2 data scientists), guiding the development of the proprietary core technology. Spearheaded 10+ simulation projects across manufacturing, energy, and smart city sectors, enhancing operational efficiency and strategic planning while providing expert training and guidance to data scientists at leading companies (Veolia, RTE, EDF, SNCF) to apply complex models.Led the architecture design and development of system-driven predictive analytics software, resulting in Gartner recognition as a “Cool Vendor in Data Science, 2016. Led the modeling and analytics methodology of system-driven predictive software, recognized with several innovation prizes, including the 2016 EY-Syntec Numérique Innovation Prize and The Red Herring Top 100 Europe award.

Research Engineer
2008 - 2010

Conducted core R&D for the Complex Systems team, focusing on translating advanced scientific modeling into industrial applications. The work laid the technical groundwork for the future founding of Cosmo Tech and its commercial platform. I developed a custom simulation language and interoperability protocol (CoSML), integrating complex system modeling with Big Data solutions and laying the groundwork for future AI integrations.
