tech lead. ai phone agents, custom-built for each client. led a team of 5, got response time from ~2s to under 800ms, and cut aws costs by 70%.
tf1 · 2022–2025
ad servers for france's biggest tv channel, handling millions of requests a day in under 200ms. ran the backend for the platform behind $200M+/yr in ad sales.
polyfact · 2024–2025
a platform that watches political tv, radio and youtube (live and replays) and transcribes all of it. those transcripts feed a knowledge base, so you can look up everything a politician has said or done, and get pinged the moment your keywords come up. rebuilt the infra to be event-driven and cut the cloud bill in half.
themecloud · 2021–2022
wordpress hosting. rebuilt the monolith into kubernetes, so every site got its own pod. sites fall asleep after 15 idle minutes and wake up on the next visit, which cut infra costs by 50%. also built a go api and a wordpress plugin so customers could manage their own infra without opening a support ticket.
cookie-api · 2020
reverse-engineered akamai and perimeterx bot detection, then rebuilt their cookie generation in go. open source. got 49 stars and a lot of angry emails.
