Transformation — experiments where technology becomes play

Half-finished rituals and prototypes. Touch at your own risk.

Scholarship Mission Control

A personal operations center for moving abroad, built because spreadsheets kept losing to reality. Scrapers and inbox watchers pull opportunities from dozens of sources; an injection-hardened LLM layer (untrusted content gets no tools, JSON only) turns them into typed records, scores them against my real preferences and drafts tailored CVs from a single source-of-truth profile. FastAPI + MongoDB + SvelteKit, behind Cloudflare Access — running daily.

AI French Tutor

A RAG-based tutor I built while learning French myself (DELF B2, exchange at INSA Lyon): retrieval over material I chose, corrections engineered to explain rather than just fix, animations that make practice feel like play. Started as a purely personal tool; now being turned public the honest way — research from real learners’ complaints, testing, iteration. The strange loop of building a teacher while being its student is the whole point.

Light & Motion — Three.js and 3D experiments

Visual compositions in Three.js, scenes modeled and rendered in Blender, and an installation prototype exploring light and gesture. This is where my dance and illustration background talks to my engineering: experiments in how light, timing and movement read to a human body, with AI output treated as raw material to compose — never as the final product. Still drying on the wall, as promised.

AI adoption, taught by hand

A volunteer teaching practice: I run sessions guiding a company through actually adopting AI in their daily workflows. Part workshop design, part translation work between what models can do and what people need. It sharpened a belief that shows up in everything I build: a feature nobody trusts is a feature nobody has.
