What I
build.

My tools run in production, bring together 500 freelancers, and sometimes ship overnight. The first one was born from a problem I lived every day: the isolation of freelancing. The model works because the problems I solve are the ones I lived first.

From consultant
to solobuilder_

ACT I
2021 · The spark
Leaving my corporate job

After a few years in consulting, I went freelance. Not a grand plan - more of a desire to pick my own topics and pace.

ACT II
2022 · Colombia
Freelancing from Medellín

I went to work a few months from Colombia. The remote life works great; alone in front of a screen, much less. I came back with an idea.

ACT III
2024 · The community
Launching BuddyWorkers

It started as a few coffees with local freelancers. Three years later, 500+ members, ten cities, and a mission-driven company. The first product that stuck.

ACT IV
2026 · Solobuilder
AI changes the game

With Claude and the right tools, I ship four products in parallel. A few large companies trust me, the newsletter grows, and I keep learning as I go.

The real
behind-the-scenes_

Once a month, I write what I learn building these products: the numbers, the tools, what doesn't work, what I'd change. Raw, hopefully useful.

A problem
to solve ?

I build custom tools for companies with a real operational problem. Let's talk.

About

Based in Bordeaux. Four SaaS in parallel, a freelancer community, a monthly newsletter. I build with AI as leverage, no team, no funding.
