(01 — Flagship project)
CORHOM
In production — genuinely usedSimplifying how candidate profiles get published, from the public website to an AI-assisted internal tool.
A recruitment firm (CORHOM), with a website to modernise and an internal process to streamline.
Manual re-entry of candidate profiles and a slow publishing process — a source of errors and wasted time.
Understanding the need, designing the solution and building it, in direct dialogue with the team.
Website redesign, an admin interface, AI-based (GPT) structuring of profiles with JSON generation, automated import and human validation at every step.
In production on corhombtp.com and genuinely used by the team every day.
Time and reliability gains confirmed by the team; quantified measurement in progress.
(02 — Other projects)
Each project marks a different step in my learning: some are in production, others are experiments or projects still being finalised.
Custom GPT agents
A first attempt at building a commercial offer around custom GPTs, with a showcase site, a backend, Supabase and Stripe integration.
Sonic Vision
An accessibility app designed to help blind and visually impaired people using LiDAR, haptic feedback, spatial audio and on-device processing.
FitTrack
A web app for sports and nutrition tracking with authentication, a database and personal-data management.
Emergency Crew
A collaborative school project in which I mainly contributed to development.
(03 — What I can do)
Every skill is tied to a real project — no made-up percentages, just proof.
Web development
Used on CORHOM and FitTrack.
Apple technologies
Used on Sonic Vision.
AI and structured data
At the heart of the CORHOM workflow and of how I work day to day.
I use each model for its strengths: Claude and Claude Code for development and agents, ChatGPT and custom GPTs for business assistants and data structuring, Perplexity for sourced research, Gemini for multimodal analysis and the Google ecosystem. This multi-model approach is part of my method: the right tool for the right job, always with human validation.
Payment and digital offer
Used on my custom GPT agents offer.
Product and entrepreneurship
Practised with SYNN-IA: offers, services and sales outreach.
Topics explored
Practised on earlier projects or experiments — without claiming advanced mastery.
(04 — My journey)
A path built step by step, between self-teaching, personal projects and first entrepreneurial ventures.
2022
Discovering generative AI
I started using GPT-3.5 as soon as it went public — first for school, then to understand and build small digital tools.
2024
First full redesign of a professional website
Discovering HTML in class sparked my interest in development: I fully rebuilt the website tied to my father's business.
2025
Founding SYNN-IA
After a first paid engagement, I registered my micro-business in July 2025. Full-stack apps, a mobile accessibility project and first business tools followed.
2026
Coming of age, BSB and relaunch
NowNow of legal age, I'm relaunching SYNN-IA, joining BSB's Bachelor in Management and preparing my application for student-entrepreneur status.
(05 — My strength)
Connecting the business need, the product and the technology.
My strength isn't knowing every tool. It's being able to learn them, connect them and use them to deliver a concrete solution. My profile combines self-teaching, technical understanding, product sensibility and entrepreneurial drive — enough to talk both about a business need and about how to turn it into an application or an automation.
(05 — My method)
Understand before you build
Understand
The need, how things currently work and the constraints.
Simplify
Remove unnecessary steps before adding tools.
Prototype
A quick first version to check the idea.
Build
Structure the solution, its data and its interfaces.
Test and improve
Gather feedback and iterate step by step.
Document
Keep the choices and the limits understandable.
(06 — SYNN-IA & what's next)
Turning this progress into an entrepreneurial project
Entrepreneurship lets me bring together what I enjoy most: understanding a problem, building a solution, testing it with users and finding a model that can make it last.
My first experiences showed me that good technology isn't enough: you have to understand needs, know how to present your value, listen to feedback and build an organisation that can last. That's what I'll strengthen at BSB — on the commercial, financial and managerial side — while continuing to develop my technical skills.
Right now
- Relaunching SYNN-IA: a clear offer around digital transformation, automation and AI for small and medium businesses.
- Documenting my projects to make the choices, limits and results visible.
- Joining BSB's Bachelor in Management and applying for national student-entrepreneur status.
