Client stories
From a request to delivery.
An event, a shoot, an order. I spent ten years between the person expressing a need and the teams delivering it. Building the tool that connects them is the logical next step.

How I work, from the need to the tool.
For ten years, I worked between the person expressing a need and the person delivering it. Today, I build the tool that connects them. I work in three stages, adapting them to each project.
01. Define: observe the work before proposing a tool.
I start by observing the existing process with the teams involved or with the client. Depending on the project, one or several interviews may be enough to define the need.
Evidence : At Delicorner, I observed internal teams, interviewed the client and validated milestones at each stage. At Wankas, one interview was enough to define the need.
02. Build: an MVP that meets the need.
I build a first usable version: an MVP that meets the client’s needs and agreed scope. I work with AI as I would with a product team. Each agent has a defined role, and I approve every stage.
Evidence : Wankas: first version delivered 4 days after the interview. The calculation engine was checked against 5 recipe specification sheets and a real order replayed through the tool.
03. Support: put the tool in users’ hands.
I put the tool in users’ hands and help them get started. I then adjust the solution based on their feedback.
Evidence : At Delicorner, the launch includes a demo, a client guide and a follow-up after two weeks. At Wankas, the tool is being tested in production to identify the adjustments needed.
I have a method and a set of tools. But every project is different: I adapt to the work people actually do and the people doing it.
