CTO and co-founder of OpenPro, in Nice, France. I build AI developer tools that run on your own models, desktop apps that keep data on your machine, systems tools in Rust and a Python framework for agent‑based modeling.
Born in Antibes. Before OpenPro: security, R&D and full-stack work for clients including Dassault Aviation, DGA, Thales and Decathlon. One CVE in Symfony so far.

00Practice
I take a product from the first architecture sketch to production, and I keep running it afterwards.
Platform architecture
Web, iOS, Android and partner integrations on one core at OpenPro. PostgreSQL, Redis, AWS, CI/CD, EU hosting under GDPR.
Applied AI
Matching, retrieval and assistants in production. Agents with approved tools, MCP servers, and models you host yourself.
Security engineering
Audits and attack simulation for defence and industry clients. One CVE in Symfony, firmware and kernel research in public.
Systems and native
A container runtime in Rust, Tauri desktop apps, Android ARM64 runtimes, C extensions with a tested Python twin.
01Selected work
- 01
OpenVision
An AI coding workspace where you choose the models. It puts an explorer, an editor, terminals, Git worktrees, agents and Tab autocomplete in one desktop app, pointed at any OpenAI-compatible API or a server on 127.0.0.1. You do not need an account to use it.
- 2026, development preview
- Portable Windows x64 build
- Electron, TypeScript, MCP
- 02
OpenPlod
A vault on your own disk for Plaud Note Pro recordings. It imports audio over Bluetooth, keeps the original files and turns them into transcripts, Markdown documents and chats that cite their sources. It ships with a REST API and a read-only MCP server.

- Tauri, Rust, TypeScript
- 03
Modelly
A framework for agent-based modeling in Python. Scenarios are typed and every run is seeded, so a shared config returns the same numbers. Agents are numpy-backed, on grids, networks and continuous space, with pandas data collection.
- 2026, Apache-2.0
- Docs published on GitHub Pages
- Python, numpy, pandas, C
- 04
HackoogleMini
I am reverse engineering the Google Home Mini to replace Google Assistant with a local LLM and an MCP voice bot. The repository covers YAFFS2 kernel exploit research, the BLE setup protocol and firmware acquisition.
- 2026, security research
- 21 stars on GitHub
- Python
- 05
Containust
A container runtime in Rust with no background daemon. Each ctst command talks to the backend directly. Stacks are described in a small declarative language, images are pulled by pinned digest, and an offline flag blocks the network for air-gapped machines.
- 2026, source-available
- Linux namespaces, cgroups v2, OCI
- Rust
- 06
unslop
Rules for interfaces and copy that do not look machine-made, with scripts that check them: no shadows, no gradients, no emoji, 350 banned words. The colours, type and copy of this site follow them.

- Skill, linter and scanner
- Python, Markdown

SmarttyTest
SmarttyTest runs only the tests a change can affect, across Jest, Vitest, node:test, Playwright, Cypress and Angular. Every skipped test comes with a reason.

02A seeded run
Modelly exists to make runs reproducible. The same idea fits in 100 lines of JavaScript, with a Schelling model where each agent moves when fewer than 45 % of its neighbours match it.
The model needs JavaScript.
03Security and contributions
I build products during the day and take other people's apart in the evening. What I find goes to the maintainers first.
| Reference | Project | What happened |
|---|---|---|
| CVE-2026-45753 | Symfony HtmlSanitizer | The URL sanitizer skipped the action, formaction, poster and cite attributes, so a javascript: URI survived sanitization and allowed XSS. I reported it and the Symfony team fixed it. Advisory published on 28 May 2026. |
| 2026, in triage | Tailscale | I sent reports to the Tailscale security team. One finding was new to them and is being fixed, with credit in the fix. Another matched an issue they had already fixed. Details stay private until the fix ships. |
| CVE-2026-109618 | PHP | My independent source-level analysis of the session.upload_progress use-after-free (also CVE-2026-109619, CVSS 9.2, fixed on 21 October 2026), with a heap layout study, a reproduction lab and an exposure scanner. I did not find this one, I studied it. |
| GalaxyCrash | Samsung Galaxy | Temporary root for research on your own device, a stability fork of DirtyFrag built on CVE-2026-43284. A reboot undoes it. 5 stars. |
| PR 1282 | awesome-ai-plugins | Merged pull request adding kill-my-idea to the list, 11 November 2026. |
04At OpenPro
OpenPro is a French professional network for people, jobs and companies, with video CVs, AI matching, messaging and an assistant named Mia, on web, iOS and Android.
The code is private. I have been CTO since February 2023, and this is the engineering I answer for.
- A PHP and Symfony core, TypeScript and React on the web, apps for iOS and Android, shipped on one roadmap.
- Matching, retrieval and the Mia assistant, written in Python and connected through MCP.
- ATS connectors through a public SDK over HTTP and MCP.
- PostgreSQL and Redis on AWS, in Docker, released through CI/CD, hosted in the EU under GDPR.
Other products I built and run: LeadsIt, an automated B2B lead search platform, OpenWhistle, audio turned into structured data, and deal-club.fun, a French real-estate card game that plays offline.
