When to call me

Your product must evolve without stoppingTF1's newsrooms publish every day. I migrated their CMS from Vue.js to React one screen at a time: not a single day of editorial freeze, and load times cut by more than 30%. For MyTF1, I brought every operator's set-top boxes onto one codebase: a new feature ships the same day across the whole fleet.Edito CMS →MyTF1 →
You need a CTOI co-founded GoSecure in 2017 and am its CTO: an app that connects a person in danger to the teams who can reach them, in production for nine years with companies, local authorities and transport operators. At Molotov, I built the TV division from the very start (team, backlog, method) through to Apple App of the Year.GoSecure →Molotov TV →
You want reliable AI in productionI built AI Desktop Studio on my own: 310 actions an AI agent can drive, models that run on the machine, and every new version measured before it is adopted. On an existing product I do the same work: decide what the agent is allowed to do, keep a record of what it does, recover from its mistakes.AI Desktop Studio →Working with AI →

How I work

I start from the business problem.Who uses the product, what is expensive today, what has to work three months from now.
You decide with the facts in hand.Every technical choice comes with its cost, its timeline, its risk and my recommendation.
You see progress every week.A working version you can try for yourself.
I move forward without being chased.And I flag a risk as soon as it appears, before it costs anything.
I leave a team able to take over.Written decisions, documentation, handover.

With AI, under control

I use AI every day to write, test and review code, and you get the benefit: more work delivered for the same budget.

I review and test everything I deliver, and I stay accountable for it.
Your code goes through no tool you have not approved.
If it is sensitive, I work with models that run locally: not a line leaves the machine.

Testimonials

I worked with Alban in my team. He is an expert in his field: autonomous, quick to onboard and able to take on complex subjects without constant supervision. He brings boundless energy and a real ability to fit in and bring people together. His enthusiasm can surprise at first, but he very quickly becomes one of the pillars of the team. A memorable personality, and always stimulating to work with.

Anthony C., Engineering & Quality Lead · on Malt, 2025Translated from French

Alban has impressive technical mastery, especially in React, and shows exceptional rigour in his work. His attention to detail, his constant pursuit of perfection and his personal standards make for deliverables that are robust, elegant and maintainable over the long term. He never settles for “good enough”: he keeps pushing code quality, performance and user experience further.
