As I approach my fifties, I am now moving toward roles in solution design and technical implementation with a strong AI component.
A lifelong learner, passionate about widely different fields, I have always cultivated a tendency to make connections, detect patterns, and develop a systemic way of thinking.
For more than twenty-five years, my approach to technical tools has been pragmatic. Rather than focusing intensively on mastering one specific programming language or technical environment, I adapt to the tools available and build things in an almost instinctive way. Running through it all is a genuine drive toward automation, summed up in two personal mottos:
A computer is not a typewriter with a screen.
I would feel guilty stealing a robot’s job.
My current professional activity lies at the intersection of data, systems, and real-world constraints. I work where things genuinely need to hold together: connecting APIs, structuring imperfect data, clarifying complex flows, aligning stakeholders, and making systems usable, robust, and understandable. But also in the human dimension — through listening, humour, understanding, and the desire to build bridges between cultures, teams, social backgrounds, and different cognitive styles…
My path has been unconventional. Trained first in linguistics, then in mathematics and data science, I also worked for around twelve years as a palaeographer alongside my other activities. This combination deeply shapes the way I approach problems: I first seek to understand structures, patterns, and meaning before proposing solutions.
For more than twenty-five years, I have developed ad hoc solutions to meet concrete needs, often using tools or languages I was discovering at the very moment I needed them (VBA, Python, Power Automate, among others). This practice has led me through highly varied environments, always with a focus on efficiency and adaptation to context.
I also use platforms such as SharePoint or Google Workspace to design tools for managing and circulating information, according to team constraints and real usage needs.
My journey is also rooted in international experience: I have lived and worked in France, the United States, New Zealand, and Ireland. These varied contexts strengthened my ability to adapt, understand different environments, and collaborate with diverse profiles.
Beyond the diversity of interests, studies, and geographical settings, my professional experience ranges from administrative management to teaching, from software compliance to 3D modelling, and from customer support to industrial drafting. Among other things…
