About
Curiosity has always been the constant.
The beginning
An 8086 at eight years old.
My relationship with technology began by building a computer around an Intel 8086 and learning to program in BASIC on DOS. It was the start of a lifelong habit: understanding systems by getting close enough to build them.
That curiosity grew into work across technology, product development, executive leadership, and entrepreneurship. Along the way, I helped teams build technology used by millions and learned that the hardest systems are often human ones.
Across disciplines and cultures
I have lived in France, Germany, Indonesia, and Taiwan, traveled through more than twenty countries, and work across French, English, and Chinese. Each place has changed how I understand leadership, technology, and the assumptions hidden inside both.
My formal education includes two bachelor's degrees in Information Technology and master's degrees in Marketing and International Business. The combination matters to me because technology only becomes consequential when it meets people, markets, and institutions.
What I am exploring now
Today, I am building AI infrastructure and exploring whether artificial intelligence could become something closer to a civilization than a product category. That question brings engineering, identity, trust, economics, and philosophy into the same room.
I also advise technology executives and leaders. My coaching work, book, and One Freedom framework remain part of the wider story, with dedicated secondary pages rather than the homepage.
