Fabernovel / Yuman

Collective intelligence platform

Collective intelligenceReal timeScaling

Context

Technical direction of the Yuman arm of Fabernovel, a Paris innovation firm. At the core: collective intelligence at very large scale, for major groups and their leaders. Clients in luxury (LVMH, Moët Hennessy, Hermès, Maroquinerie Thomas), automotive (Renault, PSA), telecoms, healthcare and defence (Thales, MBDA).

Problem

Run seminars with several thousand participants simultaneously, in real time, without the platform buckling under load or losing synchronisation.

Approach

Design and technical direction of a seminar platform for up to 6,000 simultaneous participants. Real time, synchronisation, scaling. More than 350 collective intelligence sessions designed and run with major groups.

Result

A pioneering platform, years before now well-known players took inspiration from it. Very large-scale seminars run in real conditions, in direct contact with leadership.

SMARTFORM

Coaching and fitness platform

PlatformConsumer productFull-stack

Context

Founding SMARTFORM, a platform connecting coaches and individuals around coaching and getting back in shape. A first founder project, straight out of technical direction at Fabernovel.

Problem

Design and launch a consumer platform from scratch: product, architecture, matching model and mobile experience, on startup means.

Approach

End-to-end product design and full-stack architecture. Coach and user matching model, onboarding flow, web and mobile experience. Rapid iteration on a demanding consumer market.

Result

A platform launched and operational. A first move from technical director to founder, and the product lessons that feed the projects that followed.

AvisGolf

Golf community platform

avisgolf.com
CommunitySubscriptionsSearch

Context

The largest French-speaking platform dedicated to golf. Over 13,000 members, reviews, search and content around courses, with a subscription model.

Problem

Sustain a community at scale: fast search over a large base, content, member area, and a subscription model that funds the platform.

Approach

Full-stack design and development. Subscription system, search and filtering engine over a large base of courses and reviews, member area and content.

Result

A community of more than 13,000 members and an operational subscription model. A French-speaking reference in its sector.

BTP R

Construction management SaaS

Vertical SaaSERPSite management

Context

A vertical management platform for construction. From quote to site tracking, from margins to staff, in a single tool.

Problem

Unify a fragmented trade: pre-sales, quotes, invoicing, sites, hours, suppliers, margins, scheduling, equipment and reporting, today scattered across separate tools.

Approach

Design of a full business ERP. Deals, products and product sheets, quotes and invoicing, site and hours tracking, administration (clients, suppliers, orders, works, labour rates, material pricing), diagnostic trees, margin scenarios and validation, scheduling, vehicles, field expenses, margin and monthly reports.

Result

A single tool covering the full chain of a construction company, from pricing to per-deal profitability.

Passerelle

Intergenerational platform

passerelle.family
IntergenerationalB2B2CMatching

Context

Bringing generations closer. A platform connecting volunteer retirees with working parents facing an unexpected childcare gap.

Problem

Build a trusted, secure and digital childcare solution, fully funded by employers, between two audiences that do not usually meet.

Approach

Product and platform design. Secure matching, an employer-funded B2B2C model, a journey designed for retirees and working parents alike.

Result

A first intergenerational childcare solution, secure and digital, with the service funded by employers.

SPARK NEUROTECH

Embedded neurotechnology

spark.racing
EmbeddedSignal processingEdge inference

Context

Founding a neurotechnology platform that measures brain activity outside the lab, in cognitively demanding contexts. No existing base. Everything to design.

Problem

Acquire a usable brain signal in an uncontrolled environment, where motion, electrical noise and setup time defeat lab approaches.

Approach

Prototype assembled: 16-channel EEG, multimodal biometric stack (GSR, NTC, IMU), LSL synchronisation. Working acquisition pipeline. Work on artifact rejection in constrained environments (ASR, ICA template projection, ORICA), headset ergonomics, setup-time reduction, and edge inference on SSM architectures.

Result

An operational multimodal acquisition chain and a proprietary technical base. Active build phase, from hardware to signal pipeline.

The Aigency Group

Enterprise AI engineering

AI engineeringProductionData pipelines

Context

Co-founding an AI engineering firm delivering custom systems for enterprise clients.

Problem

Move AI use cases from intent to a reliable, operable and maintainable system, rather than a demo that goes nowhere.

Approach

Feasibility framing, data pipeline design, model integration, evaluation and guardrails. Industrialisation and operation. Engineering discipline applied to a field that often lacks it.

Result

AI systems delivered in production for enterprise clients. Funded R&D that supports SPARK in parallel.

Murmurali

Privacy-first photo sharing

murmurali.com
Privacy-firstWebAuthnCloudflare R2

Context

A private photo-sharing platform, built for end-to-end confidentiality. A founder product, live.

Problem

Share photos within a private circle with no email or password account, no exploitable social graph, and no metadata leak.

Approach

Passwordless authentication: WebAuthn passkey as primary, BIP39 recovery phrase, no reset. Object storage on Cloudflare R2 with presigned URLs, EXIF stripped on upload. Social graph compartmentalised by a centralised visibility middleware. Fastify, Drizzle and PostgreSQL stack, VAPID web push notifications.

Result

A production platform with a self-sovereign authentication model and privacy by design, not as an option.
