I start from an idea or a still-fuzzy need, build a first real version, test it in concrete conditions, then iterate until I have a reliable, usable system. Electronics, firmware, mechanics, radio, sensors, power, user interfaces: I don't artificially separate these disciplines. To me, a good prototype is a complete system that works in the real world.
Electronic lock for bikes and scooters — from idea to product
Co-founder of a micro-mobility startup: product designed from scratch, hardened through field iterations, built as a small run (~50 units), with the first pilots launched in hotels in France, Ireland and the Netherlands.
Each project explores a different facet: distributed systems, event lighting, power, radio, security, mechanics, sensors, energy autonomy, field testing.
Portal Light — AI-Enhanced Event Lighting Infrastructure
Electric jetboard — 2,000 W on the water, for under €2,000
Camping alarm — distributed perimeter monitoring and anti-tamper
Secure access system — biometrics + RFID + sensor monitoring
Electric go-kart — home-built steel chassis, dual motors
Invincible speaker — 150 W RMS, active cooling, splash-resistant
Night-exploration floodlight — 100 W portable LED with active cooling
