About

I grew up in a family of doctors. I was supposed to become one. Then I touched a computer, and that was it.

I started in tech as a teenager, working with data before I really knew what I was doing. That's usually how you learn.

I built machine learning at Dassault Systèmes. Then transformers arrived, and everything changed. So I started an AI company with my best friends. We automated the boring work for small businesses. It was quite a ride.

Then I joined Alan and sat next to founders and operators who knew exactly what they were doing. I learned more in that year than in all the ones before.

At Cambridge Aerospace we went from a few people in a room to a company in a few months. That's where I fell in love with hardware. Hardware is hard. You can't fake it. Software forgives you. Hardware doesn't.

Today I'm at Arsenals AI. We build autonomous naval systems, at scale, in Europe.

That's the whole story.
