Side projects
A selection of things I built over the years, mostly to scratch my own itch.
-
Tsundoku
A simple way to manage my numerous reading lists and challenges. Also helps me track my progress.
-
OneOne
I built this one-on-one app when I started having too many reports and skip levels at Omada. It helped managers and employees keep track of goals, feedback and growth conversations. It ended up used by tens of companies (in Asia, somehow), a few of them paying for it.

Appibabies
A virtual solution to a real-life problem: why should having a kid take nine long months and be so expensive? Over 100k downloads. The team won Startup Weekend Paris and Startup Weekend Europe in London. I built the Rails API and the iOS app in Objective-C, and set up our metrics.

Hubluc
The cheapest way to buy mp3s: where to buy or stream your favorite band, and how much it costs. The hard part was parsing and consolidating nine sources in real time — JSON, XML and plain HTML scraping.

Tips by 100
A case study: what can I achieve alone in less than 36 hours? Annoyed with Foursquare and the trendy apps meant to help me discover places, I built an iOS app and a website around 100 things to do in Paris, in English and French. I designed the UX and UI myself.
