Hello, I'm Yves.

I've been exploring cyberspace since the late nineties. When I'm not at my computer I enjoy exploring the real world. My longest adventure was riding my bicycle from Germany to Australia.

Right now I'm co-founder and CTO at fluado, where we build AI agents for European SMBs.

Before that: engineering lead at ToolTime, software engineering at SoundCloud, front-end development at agencies in Paris, and a company I co-founded in 2006. I also volunteered on open-source and community projects for years. The long version is in my CV.

I write here now and then. The best way to reach me is email.
