Entrepreneurship

An entrepreneurial profile, not just a technical one

Since 2022, I've designed and launched my own products alongside client work — mostly SaaS and e-commerce sites. What matters is never the code alone: it's the judgement on what deserves to be built, and the nerve to stop cold what doesn't hold up.

Key skills

  • Product judgement

    Spotting a real, lived problem — not a nice-sounding idea on paper — before spending a weekend of code on it.

    Proficiency
    Proficiency : 88 / 100
  • Idea to production, solo

    Design, development, deployment: carrying a product from the first sketch to real users, without a team.

    Proficiency
    Proficiency : 92 / 100
  • Ship-or-kill calls

    A shelved or dropped project isn't a hidden failure: it's a documented decision, made in time.

    Proficiency
    Proficiency : 90 / 100
  • Cost and execution speed

    Picking the fastest tool to validate a hypothesis, not the most elegant one on paper.

    Proficiency
    Proficiency : 85 / 100
  • Business model

    Asking who pays, why, and whether the model survives the competition — before writing the first line.

    Proficiency
    Proficiency : 80 / 100
  • Client relationship & delivery

    The same judgement applied to client work: proposing, not just executing what's asked.

    Proficiency
    Proficiency : 86 / 100

A dedicated process

No committee, no fifty-page business plan. Four beats, repeated for every product — including the decision to stop, when it's the right one.

  1. Step 01

    Observation.

    A real problem, lived first-hand.

    The idea never starts from a trends spreadsheet: it starts from a real friction — on a mission, in a rented property, in a transaction gone wrong.

    Deliverables
    Problem stated in one sentence

    1 / 4

  2. Step 02

    Validation.

    Test before spending dev time.

    A minimal first pass, sometimes with no code at all, to check the problem is shared by others before committing weeks to it.

    Deliverables
    Minimal testable version

    2 / 4

  3. Step 03

    Build.

    From idea to production, solo.

    Design, development, deployment — with the tools best suited to the situation, not the ones that look best on a résumé.

    Deliverables
    Live product, real users

    3 / 4

  4. Step 04

    Decision.

    Ship, grow, or stop cold.

    Every product is reviewed regularly: what holds up continues, what doesn't gets shelved or dropped — without clinging to the time already sunk.

    Deliverables
    Documented call: ship, iterate or stop

    4 / 4

Testimonial

What I appreciated is that he didn't just code what we asked for: he questioned the model, proposed something simpler, and said clearly when an idea didn't hold up.
