- FairmeCo-founder & Technical DirectorAGRICULTUREAugust 2020 - April 2024 (3 years and 8 months)Grenoble, FranceAs technical director and co-founder, I led the technical development of Fairme, an innovative industrial startup in the food tech sector. I was responsible for a team of 15 engineers, covering the entire development cycle of a complex machine.My main responsibilities:
- **Interface between vision and feasibility**: transforming (sometimes wild) founder ideas into clear, realistic, and industrializable technical concepts.
- **Team Leadership**: supervising, coordinating, and developing the skills of a multidisciplinary team of 15 engineers (mechanical, production, R&D…).
- **Product Invention and Design**: imagining, modeling, and iterating on dozens of functional mechanical modules, designed for workshop production.
- **Project Management**: managing the complete development — from the initial idea to the prototype, and finally to in-house production.
- **Methodology and Technical Culture**: implementing an effective work framework balancing agility, rigor, and field testing culture.
This experience gave me a comprehensive view of industrial product development: invention, mechanical design, teamwork, project management, manufacturing, and scaling. - HiTech RadiatorsMechanical Design EngineerMECHANICAL ENGINEERINGJune 2017 - November 2018 (1 year and 6 months)Brisbane, AustraliaMechanical design of radiators for mining equipment (radiators several meters high), projects reaching €300k and with very short deadlines.
