About Pierre

🚀 We help startups and SMEs design, prototype, and industrialize their products quickly, without hiring or long-term commitments.

I lead Fluidy, a firm that complements your team with experts in platform development, embedded systems (hardware and software), and mechatronics.

👉 Specifically, we act as a technical 'right hand' on demand:
- Creation of custom business platforms
- Implementation of data processing pipelines
- Product design (CAD, electronics, embedded software)
- Rapid prototyping (3D, small series, testing)
- Improvement or redesign of existing products
- Industrialization and production preparation
- Development of connected objects (hardware + backend + app)
- Cost/manufacturability/sourcing optimization

💡 Our approach is simple:
You don't need a full-time team.
You need to move fast, in the right direction, at the right time.
We work on a flexible monthly fee (no commitment) starting from one day per month, with:
- Direct access to our experts
- Structured and comprehensive weekly follow-up
- The ability to launch concrete actions quickly

🎯 Ideal if you want to:
- Quickly unblock a technical issue
