I write about agentic AI and software craft in English and French, including a book on software craftsmanship, and love sharing with and learning from engineering communities. I'm currently working as a Distinguished Software Engineer at QuantumBlack, AI by McKinsey, where I help enterprises take AI agents to production and use AI to build quality software, without giving up on engineering craft.
