Beyond

Behind the keyboard.

Software engineer in Normandy, France. Twenty years in information systems, from the automotive industry to public health. I love to build: software, websites, and even a passive house. I document here what I learn by building.

The journey, in short

Twenty years in information systems, first in the automotive industry, then in public health. Two worlds that seem opposed in every way, and that taught me the same lesson: an information system is first a story of people trying to understand each other, the machines come second.

In recent years, artificial intelligence has reshuffled my trade. Rather than debating it in meetings, I chose to make it the permanent testing ground you are browsing: every page of this site is also a test bench, documented in thenotes.

What keeps me busy when the screen is off

Social psychology, and what it says about our misunderstandings. I like the idea that human relationships can be debugged too: with listening instead of a debugger, and without ever being able to git revert. Technology is powerful; without relational intelligence, it remains incomplete.

The rest happens in Normandy, between sea and hedgerows, at a precise spot I keep to myself: something has to stay offline.

Getting in touch

The simplest way is LinkedIn. My public code lives on GitHub. And if you were looking for another Guillaume Couillard,this page will point you the right way.
