Product builder with 5 years in B2B SaaS: co-founded a SaaS company, led product inside large organisations, and now builds AI-native products from 0 to 1 by directing AI coding agents. I work across tech and non-tech teams, and I'm drawn to problems where the product still has to be made.

## Founder & Builder

### Product Builder, Hospitality agentic architecture

**Nov 2025 – present**

*Agentic systems for independent hotels: intelligence pushed into the tools staff already use, not another dashboard.*

- **[Aetherix](/aetherix) (F&B agent):** one recommendation a day on WhatsApp, with the manager's reply and the actual outcome logged next to it. Built and running on the Apaleo sandbox (OAuth2, MCP) and on public data; no hotel connected yet.
- **[Anima](/anima) (guest memory):** keeps what guests said apart from what was inferred, and forgets what was never confirmed. Synthetic proof of concept with four memory layers and an MCP server; real guest data gated behind a data-protection assessment.
- **Evaluation by design:** forecasting benchmarked publicly on the Kaggle Recruit dataset against a naive median baseline, with mixed results reported as they are; 12 public ADRs.
- **Architecture:** 5 agents around a central orchestrator, multi-tenant, with GDPR constraints designed in from the start.

### Product Builder, Compass

**2026 – present**

*Address-level context for commercial location decisions in Paris, built on open data.*

- Product and data design, built by directing AI coding agents. A person and an AI agent see the same figures, sources and confidence levels.
- Published MCP server (npm paris-compass-mcp, listed in the MCP registry).

### Co-founder & Product Manager, Sonor

**2020 – 2022**

*B2G SaaS helping local governments reduce noise pollution with open data.*
