Speaking
I speak, teach, coach, and mentor on backend engineering, shipping AI products, and technical English, backed by a C2 English certificate and a first prize for public speaking.
Topics
Shipping AI products solo
What it actually takes to take an AI-powered product from idea to paying users, drawn from building Guru Learner end to end.
Backend at production scale
Designing Laravel and NestJS systems that stay fast and reliable across tens of thousands of records, queues, and role-based access.
Software for the public sector
Lessons from building platforms that public agencies depend on, where reliability and data integrity are the product.
Teaching
Practical backend engineering
Walking developers through the real-world concerns production teaches but tutorials skip: queues, indexing, access control, and failure states.
Integrating AI APIs
How to wire models like Gemini, OpenAI, and Claude into real products with the engineering discipline that makes them dependable.
Coaching
Technical English for engineers
Helping francophone engineers move from reading English to speaking it confidently in professional settings, the problem Guru Learner was built to solve.
Mentoring
Hackathon teams
Helping teams scope ruthlessly and ship a working demo under deadline, informed by competing through events like Google ABI-HACK.
Early-career developers
Sharing the shift from writing features to owning systems in production, and the habits that make it sustainable.
