Having been involved in multiple companies and intense bootstrapping I am open to sharing my experience and add significant value to other startups. I'm a glomad (a word I made up), French originally, but an expat much of my life, I'm an entrepreneur who loves to travel and have fun. A curious and open-minded geek and activist, I enjoy inventing and making things. I consider myself a "MacGyver" – quickly finding hacks or solutions to any technical or other problem – with duct-tape programming methods, which allows for the rapid creation of innovative and feature-rich applications, leveraging and bringing together the latest advances of any relevant open-source projects, open APIs, (draft) industry standards, research, cloud services, etc. It's like playing with lego. I like creating "working prototypes" of new tools and services. I’ve been in charge of everything from product design to coding, pitching to fundraising, hiring to project management, cloud/server setups to system admin, community building to creating a movement, branding to PR to social media, marketing to sales to customer service, etc.
