// about
I'm Maxime.
An engineer
who happens to consult.
I started writing software at 14, joined my first startup at 22, and have been trying to make systems boring (in the best possible way) ever since.
I work with founders, CTOs and engineering leaders who need a senior pair of hands — not a slide deck.
Principles I work by.
↳
Boring is a feature
I optimize for systems your future on-call engineer will thank you for.
↳
Decisions over docs
Long memos rarely change behavior. Small, reversible decisions do.
↳
Ship, then refactor
The first cut teaches you the shape. The second one earns its keep.
Track record.
