The story
What Loïs is looking for
What my dream role looks like day to day is owning hard, real problems end-to-end and turning them into systems that ship. I lose track of time when a problem is ambiguous, technically deep, and operationally important. The kind where you first need to understand the real bottleneck, break it down clearly, design the right architecture, and then execute across the whole stack. The work I enjoy most is not being responsible for one narrow layer in a large org, but moving from problem definition to backend design, infra, data flow, sometimes frontend, and all the operational details needed to get something into production. I like being close to reality: real users, real constraints, real performance issues, real feedback loops. The best days are when I can build something that immediately creates leverage, removes friction, or turns a slow manual process into a fast, reliable system. The environment matters just as much as the work. I do my best in small, high-agency teams with high standards, low ego, and short feedback loops. I like moving fast, but not carelessly: clean code, strong abstractions when they are justified, good engineering taste, and constant iteration based on what actually works. I’m especially energized by work at the intersection of product, infrastructure, security, and AI-enabled systems, internal tools, automation pipelines, backend platforms, product features, anything that makes a system or a team meaningfully more effective. In five words, what I’m looking for is: real problems, full ownership, fast iteration. That is the kind of work that makes hours disappear for me.
Why Loïs is exploring
What’s pushing me to look right now is that I’ve seen both sides of the equation. In my current role, I’ve worked with very talented people and learned a lot from them, which I value a lot. But I’ve also seen how, in a large organization, strong work can get diluted by friction: too many handoffs, too many tickets, too little room to iterate quickly, and not enough pressure to keep raising the technical bar. That environment taught me a lot, but it also showed me what I don’t want long term. I’ve had enough exposure to startup environments, through my own projects and previous attempts at building companies, to know that I’m much more aligned with places where initiative is rewarded, innovation is expected, and speed actually matters. I’ve been building since I was young, and that builder instinct never really switched off. I want to be in an environment where I can keep learning aggressively, ship end-to-end, and be surrounded by people who want to push themselves rather than protect the status quo. That’s the real reason I’m looking now.
What won't fit on a resume
What does not fit on my resume is how much of my profile was built under constraint. I did not grow up with the hardware, money, or environment that made technical projects easy, so I learned early not to wait for ideal conditions, permission, or support. If I needed a better computer, tools, or learning material, I had to go get them myself. I started by repairing phones and computers locally, then reinvested everything into hardware, electronics, software, and whatever would let me keep building. A lot of my mindset came from that period: do not complain about the system, find the leverage, learn fast, and rebuild it better. That pattern showed up everywhere. In middle school, I was already buying Bitcoin when it was still around $1k. Later in high school, I scaled an Ethereum mining rig from 1 GPU to 8, turned roughly €3k into about €13k on hardware alone before the crash, and held additional upside in ETH. That work got enough attention that a Luxembourg family office spent real effort trying to reach me about a Bitcoin mining project in Switzerland. I ultimately walked away from a €400k structure because the economics were not good enough for the downside I saw. Around the same period, I was also building trading algorithms for prop firms, constantly teaching myself how markets, incentives, and broken systems actually work. The same thing happened outside crypto. For a school engineering competition, I raised sponsorship money door-to-door by bike for months, handled rejection after rejection, then designed and 3D-modeled a Formula 1-style car on an underpowered machine because I had no better setup. I even imported a Fire TV Cube from the US to France years before it was officially available there just to build a voice-driven demo into our stand. We finished first in my department and top 10 regionally despite having far fewer resources than many teams. More recently, that same builder mindset has translated into real systems across software, security, infrastructure, and automation. I worked on Horus, an AI-driven anti-phishing training platform for companies with realistic attack simulations, role-specific scenarios, dashboards, quizzes, and continuous awareness flows. I also built security tooling such as a secure erase utility for disks and removable media, internal systems like a KPI SaaS platform that had to integrate multiple data sources and even absorb my orchestration tooling into a broader product layer, and automation systems around robotics and 3D-printing workflows. The common thread is simple: I do not wait to be given a path. I find one, or I build it.
