About me
· 1 min readI work in one of the most process-heavy industries in the world and spend most of my time trying to remove unnecessary process.
I'm an engineering leader in mobile banking, based in Bordeaux, France. I work on delivery, production reliability, and the teams that build the product.
What I write about #
A few starting points:
- Why your burndown chart should look like a crime scene
- Thank God the machine took the old work
- Technical excellence
Learning #
Learning is at the center of most things I do. I read more than 100 books a year and listen to a lot of podcasts covering history, philosophy, science, tech, and business. I'm drawn to ideas that challenge how I think or help me see something I'd missed.
I also enjoy tinkering with tools, apps, and programming languages. You can see my daily setup on the uses page, or check what I'm up to right now.
Bordeaux #
Bordeaux produces more wine than the whole of Germany. Most people who visit come for the bottles. I stayed for the scale. You can walk almost anywhere, the city feels open rather than claustrophobic, and it leaves room for a quiet, deliberate life without cutting you off from good work and culture.
How I try to live #
I'm working toward a simpler, more deliberate life: fewer commitments, less noise, more depth. I'm selective about what gets my time and attention, and I take full responsibility for the choices I make.
I prefer slow, substantive conversations over small talk. The kind where you actually change your mind about something. You can reach me on LinkedIn, X, or via the links below.
