AI Driven & Product Engineer · Freelance, MikaNowa · 2010 → today
Solo builder augmented by AI, from idea to product. I design, steer and build digital projects end to end, from strategic framing to production.
A full value chain and a single point of contact: product, design, code (front, back, API, automation), deployment and maintenance. Responsive, cost-controlled, fast execution without cutting quality.
Filmmaker turned engineer. Competitive speedcuber. Idea builder, augmented by AI.
Love for the product AND for the tech. Not one then the other: an osmosis.
The vision that frames it, the code that ships it, the detail that makes the difference. Make the complex simple, and legible.
The whole chain, end to end. A full project run solo, or a specific brick that plugs into a team.
Framing, needs, roadmap, prioritisation. The vision before the first line of code.
Architecture, tech choices, screen design. Care for ergonomics and detail.
Front, back, API, automation. Real code, deployed, maintainable.
Production and maintenance. The product that runs, not the demo.
Fifteen years designing, architecting and shipping. From CEO of a recruitment platform to Staff Engineer in the Silicon Valley.
Solo builder augmented by AI, from idea to product. I cover the whole value chain: product, design, dev and deployment. Optimised process and advanced AI baked into every step.
The workshop where the machine becomes a copilot.Staff engineer role inside a US scale-up. Code at the scale and pace of the Silicon Valley.
San Francisco, remotely from Rennes.Health and mental health across Europe (France, UK, Germany). MonSherpa (mental health, clinical content) then Symbio (holistic wellbeing, UK-oriented: teleconsultation, booking, assessment, in-house CMS, chatbot). “One backend to rule them all”: architecture, stability, scalability, interoperability, team management in Shape-Up, and code. Daily work with the English teams.
Job boards. Front Tech Lead: technical direction of the group's front-end projects, grew the front team from 4 to 12, evangelised the front-end craft.
Growing a team as much as a product.Joined as Senior Fullstack Dev, quickly moved to architect (team of 6 devs, 2 POs, 3 QAs). Router management.
From keyboard to the big picture.Rework, front framework and high back-end layer, dev mentoring, project management. Clause / Constraint feature: NoSQL inside a relational database.
Bend the tech to the need, not the other way around.Front and back of a consumer-credit web app, then a framework to simplify service and cache management (back and front). Elasticsearch and D3.js POC.
Simplify what others complicate.Full-stack GWT layer for editions management: a performance and ergonomics challenge, a clean and legible screen. UI mockups, GWT best practices and R&D, a Maven plugin, DOM manipulation via a render pool, return-state prediction, and a GWT / JSNI PDF generation library built from scratch.
Performance hides inside the render pool.A recruitment platform aimed at engineers. The whole cycle, alone at the helm: project manager, architect, developer, marketing, and video production. Modules: multi-format CV parsing (RegExp and learning), streaming / video (Flash AS3, Red5), newsletter, calendar (ICS, push), file explorer, and an Android app (Java with a GWT bridge).
First product. First product / tech osmosis.The CV says the tech. Here is what makes it different. One thread from the start: automate, optimise, and make the complex simple.
Master's in audiovisual directing, a stint in the film industry, then developer and architect. A sense of narrative, aesthetics and ergonomics seeps in everywhere: “clean screen”, “ergonomic simplicity” come back in every assignment.
Fascinated by ways, new and old, of organising work: Shape-Up, orchestration, agents, no-code. Method is a product too.
Today, my signature: weaving AI, agents and spec-driven into the whole process. Not a gadget, a way to think the build.
Astrophysics, no-code, genealogy, video, and cubes. Curiosity as the engine, optimisation as the reflex.

A factory that turns an idea into a deployed application, by AI. From intent to spec, to screen design, to real code generation, all the way to deployment. The living proof that product and tech are one.
Prototypes built with AI, to try right in the browser.
13.8 billion years in 200 seconds: the universe, life and the whole human adventure, without a second's rest. Real flights through nebulae, 110 archive films, nearly 300 artworks, photographs and documents from every continent, real voices and an original score that moves through every style. Twelve drafts before it, by two AI agents, Claude and GPT-6 Astra. Adults only: wars, atomic bombs and an explicit sex scene drawn from public-domain erotic art.
A Leonardo da Vinci notebook page draws itself in ink, stroke by stroke. Then the sketches lift off the paper, take on volume and fall under real gravity: pendulum, domino chain, inclined plane. Click the page to draw new bodies.
A full project to hand over, or a precise brick to integrate. Single point of contact, from idea to production.
