I grew up in the countryside in France where I taught myself to code. I studied signal analysis and worked for the industry but soon was attracted by entrepreneurship.

In 2007, I became the first CTO of Voxler. Our singing voice analysis technology powered 10+ video games.

In 2011, I co-founded AudioGaming where I created an optimized, memory-efficient, audio synthesis framework in C. The next year we pivoted and created Novelab, which became an award-winning studio for creating experiences in VR.

In 2013, I created a VR headset in Cardboard that became the Google Cardboard, and joined Google in 2014. I oversaw innovation for six years at Google Arts & Culture Lab, focusing my team on AI/ML. During this period, I invested my time in deep-learning explorations and worked on video generation and text analysis, among other things.

In 2020, I co-founded Clipdrop. We launched Clipdrop.co & cleanup.pictures. We sold to Stability.ai in Feb 2023. We are now part of Jasper.

I've always enjoyed creating things for fun—it helps me keep learning. Below you'll find some of these projects alongside my writings and book summaries.
