04 · Why work with me

01

A developer first, not a slide-deck consultant.

I don't make recommendations I couldn't implement myself: I deliver code, pipelines and production releases.

02

AI in production, not in a demo.

I build agents that run every day inside a product team: tests, sandboxes, monitoring, costs.

03

Production is the culture.

Monitoring, SQL performance, scaling, incidents: I know what happens to an application after it goes live.

05 · Frequently asked questions

Do you work remotely?

Yes. I'm based in the Paris region (Île-de-France) and work remotely, in English or French.

How does an engagement work?

A first call to understand the need, a written proposal (fixed price or time and materials), then regular deliveries. I invoice as a French sole trader.

What are your rates?

From €750 per day for development and DevOps, €900 per day for AI integration, and €1,500 for a full SEO & GEO audit, deducted from the implementation (excl. VAT). A first automated audit is free online.

Can you take over an existing application?

Yes, that's a large part of my work: a code and infrastructure review, then improvements without rewriting everything.
