About Me

I am a software engineer thrilled by the opportunities of technologies, especially by those at the junction between computers and humans. I am fascinated by social networks, video games, user-interfaces, biofeedback, multi-modal communication, and business tools.

I am also an entrepreneur believing that software can be used as a tool to empower us at becoming better humans. I carried out that vision by going to Africa where I trained a group of 20 very capable Senegalese. I also developed a biofeedback game for children with attention deficit disorder. More recently, I developed a medical application to train doctors, and I am volunteering on a project aiming at educating the Nigerians about democracy.

The challenge about good software development is seldom technical. Yes, good software always require appropriate technical skills, but exceptional software can only emerge from a deep understanding of the client’s motivations , values, and background knowledge.
