Akolads is my web agency. I leverage over 10 years of experience in web development and entrepreneurship to support my clients on their custom projects, from showcase websites to complex business applications, including artificial intelligence integration.

I design and develop custom web applications for business needs that standard tools do not cover:

I integrate artificial intelligence into the heart of my clients' tools:

Custom showcase websites in code (HTML / CSS / JavaScript), without templates

Shopify e-commerce stores (Shopify Partner)

Websites designed for performance and conversion

Natural referencing strategy (SEO): audit, keywords, on-page, link building

Optimization for generative search (GEO) to be cited by AI and new search engines

Content production and performance monitoring

Beyond the technical aspects, I bring a product and business vision from my own entrepreneurial projects (Le Baroudeur du Vin, Kareho). I understand my clients' challenges beyond the code and I commit to concrete results: an application that saves time, a website that converts, referencing that generates qualified traffic.

Le Baroudeur du Vin is an e-commerce project that I founded and developed from scratch, with the ambition of introducing wines from elsewhere to the greatest number.

I handled all the technical aspects: store design, custom development, content, and natural referencing.

I designed and developed the entire online store on Shopify:

I developed the marketplace part of the platform from scratch in Ruby on Rails:

This part illustrates my ability to combine a turnkey solution (Shopify) with custom application development when the business need exceeds standard tools.

I managed all natural referencing:

Ruby on Rails development, Shopify e-commerce, front-end integration (HTML / CSS / JavaScript), SEO strategy, and product management.

It is this versatility — developing a custom application while mastering business challenges — that I now offer to my clients through my agency Akolads.

Kicklox is an engineering and technology consulting firm that connects freelancers and design offices with companies needing engineering and development services. I joined the technical team as a Ruby on Rails developer to work on the back-end development of their matchmaking platform.

I worked on the platform's core application, focusing on the server-side:

A significant part of my work focused on the platform's GraphQL API:

Working on a production platform involved balancing new feature delivery with code quality:

Ruby on Rails, back-end development, GraphQL API, data modeling, performance optimization, automated testing, teamwork on a live product.
