About Philippe

Outsourced CTO — I turn tech into a real competitive advantage


You don't need another coder.
You need someone who understands where your business is going, who builds the right architecture from the start, and who delivers.
That's what I've been doing for 15 years — hands-on and with a strategic vision.

My recent playgrounds

Marketplace, MedTech, FinTech, Real Estate.
AI integrated at the core of the product.

Concrete impacts

Real Estate ERP with AI-assisted ad generation: -70% production time, +40% qualified leads.
Cloud-native B2B SaaS with matchmaking AI on Kubernetes: +40% user engagement, 99.9% uptime.
Commercial AI Agent: automated 24/7 lead qualification, increased conversion.
Large accounts under white label (Carrefour, OECD, Inserm, Volkswagen): -50% HR time, +35% marketing engagement.

What I truly bring

An outsourced CTO isn't just a senior dev with a fancy title.
It's a single point of contact covering strategy, architecture, delivery, and team management.
I build a product vision aligned with your business objectives. I establish a scalable architecture from day 1 — DDD DRY KISS SOLID CQRS.
I integrate AI only when the ROI is measurable.
I structure and upskill teams. And I also code.
MIT Certified — Data-Driven Decision Making.

Typical missions

Outsourced CTO (recurring): roadmap, team leadership, architecture choices, hands-on.
MVP and SaaS from scratch: product delivered in 2 to 6 weeks, scalable stack.
Operational AI: business agents, RAG, internal copilots, process automation.
Refactoring and scaling: legacy migration, CI/CD implementation, cost and performance optimization.

Backend: Laravel, Symfony, Python, Node.js
Frontend: Vue, React, Livewire, Tailwind
Mobile: Flutter
AI: OpenAI, Claude, LangChain, RAG, Agents.
DevOps: Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, CI/CD
