Hi, I’m Stéphane — a digital enthusiast with over 20 years of experience working at the crossroads of design, technology, and productivity. I’m based in France, and I currently work in the construction sector.
What I do professionally
Over the past years, I’ve worn many hats on both business and technical sides of digital projects:
- product management (user research, feature prioritization, product strategy),
- project management (planning, delivery, cross-functional coordination),
- digital transformation — helping organizations evolve their tools, processes, and culture to embrace new technologies.
I’ve led product and project initiatives from early discovery through delivery — defining roadmaps, aligning stakeholders, managing timelines and budgets, and bridging the gap between technical teams and business goals.
Also, AI is now a core part of how I work and build. I use it daily to think, prototype, ship faster, and automate workflows — across coding, writing, and research. I continuously explore new use cases, test tools, and refine systems to make them more efficient, reliable, and scalable.
How I got into code
In 2019, I made a deliberate decision to go deeper into software development and attended the Coding Academy by Epitech. That training solidified my foundations in web development: JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Node.js, SQL, and more.
What I write about
This blog is where I think out loud, and where I like to write about experiences and what I learn:
- PKM & note-taking — I’ve been using Obsidian for several years as my second brain, and I write honestly about what works, what doesn’t, and how my system evolved
- AI & Vibe Coding — I recently shipped MyAbonPlus, a free iOS subscription tracker built with Cursor, ChatGPT, and V0, with no prior Swift experience
- JavaScript & TypeScript — from functional programming concepts like currying and pure functions, to practical React patterns and TypeScript best practices
- Productivity & tools — automation with Make.com, AI-assisted workflows, Mac tooling, and the ongoing quest to do more with less
Principles
I’m a strong believer in the KISS principle — keep it stupid simple. Whether it’s code, note-taking, or the apps I choose to run on my Mac, I tend to favor simplicity, data ownership, and tools that get out of the way.
I write mainly in English and I cross-post on Medium.
