About Me
Hi, I'm Louis 👋🏻 —a product thinker, designer, and developer with a passion for creating solutions that blend creativity and functionality. Born in France, I now call Buffalo, New York home, and my strong French accent is part of my story.
I've worked in three different countries—Thailand, France, and the USA—helping companies bring their ideas to life, taking projects from 0 to 1. To me, coding is like solving a puzzle: it's about crafting something meaningful within constraints, which is why I love focusing on mobile apps 📱. Their challenges inspire innovation, while websites feel more like canvases for artists.
When I'm not building or designing, I'm outdoors—hiking, biking, running—or exploring the universe through my love for astronomy. I'm also a big Formula 1 fan, a former high-level swimmer, and an Apple enthusiast who dreams of living close to nature 🌲 (despite my fear of spiders).
Organization and focus are the foundation of my work, paired with a proactive mindset. I'm always open to feedback, discussions, and questioning my own ideas. I believe this approach is the key to growth and successful projects.
Let's create something extraordinary together 🚀
