I help developers and data teams build with data and the cloud. Right now, that means data engineering, analytics and AI agents.

I'm a Principal Developer Advocate at Microsoft (Azure Engineering), based in France. Before that, I was a Customer Engineer at Microsoft, and an engineering lead at Deezer — where a team of two shipped three apps past 10 million downloads.

I started selling my code at 16. I still write some every week.

• Scope — an evaluation platform for agentic experiences (research preview). The question behind it: how do you know your agent actually helps your users?
• entra-local — a local Entra ID emulator for developers who need to mock authentication.
• fabio — contributing to an agent-native CLI for Microsoft Fabric, written in Rust.
• Fabric Notes — simple drawings that explain the main Microsoft Fabric concepts.

• Engineering for Continuity: The Exit Packet
• Not Every Forward Deployed Engineer Is Actually an FDE
• Where's Zoé? Supporting accents in Fabric Data Agents

Data engineering, Microsoft Fabric, Azure SQL and Cosmos DB, evaluating AI agents, developer experience. Mobile development too — but I'm rusty.

I've given hundreds of talks, from local meetups to keynotes, across the US, Europe, Asia and Australia. In English and French.

🤿 When I'm not in front of a screen, I'm probably underwater. I'm a scuba diving instructor, and I train other divers to become instructors. Otherwise, I'm cooking — my recipes are on GitHub too.
