I started building products as a kid as I couldn’t afford to buy the toys I want. Since high school, I read a lot of tech newspapers and started building websites to make some money.

After dropping out of university in my fourth year, I worked for a few companies (Microsoft, Gameloft, e27.co,…) in various positions such as Developer, Product Designer, Product Analyst, Marketer, and so on to discover that my life passion is delivering value by building products.
