My Story

Born in south of France, I've grown up in Africa and Asia. This multi-cultural environment has shaped my unique perspective on creating inclusive and impactful digital experiences. At Microsoft, I lead design initiatives for AI-powered enterprise solutions, from fraud protection to low-code AI builders. My expertise lies in translating complex technologies into intuitive interfaces that empower users while maintaining enterprise-grade security and scalability.
