About me
This website showcases mostly side projects related to hardware, software, AI and entrepreneurial experiences.
For my full professional résumé, please visit my LinkedIn profile.
Entrepreneurship
In 2013, I co-founded Jooxter, a company specializing in optimizing workspace occupancy. We built a SaaS platform (mobile and web) that analyzes the occupancy rates of large buildings using hardware sensors, big data, and machine learning (AI). After two years of bootstrapping, we raised 1 million euros to expand our sales efforts in Europe (Luxembourg, Belgium, the UK, Italy, etc.).

Open source project creator
In 2007, I created the open-source project “KontrolPack,” which gathered over 700,000 downloads and was integrated into Ubuntu, Gentoo, and Arch Linux. I managed contributors from all over the world on a weekly basis. Read the AddictiveTips or Ghacks articles to learn more.
In 2009, I created a second open-source project called “FeelHome.” which quickly gained traction, reaching thousands of weekly downloads thanks to growth-hacking techniques and coverage from tech media outlets such as LifeHacker and MacGeneration.

Today
I am currently the Chief Technology Officer at Positive group, a leading European marTech company. I manage about a hundred people across on-premise infrastructure, AI, and web development teams.
Free time
Electronics and robotics especially Cyber-Physical System (CPS) (microcontrollers — PID, sensor and actuator control, computer vision, on-chip AI using Nvidia Jetson and other boards).
Technologies I enjoy working with ?
AI & Data
I have worked on convolutional neural networks (deep learning), LSTM models, LLM fine-tuning, and more recently, agentic assistants. I also served as Head of Data for a large retail organization with millions of customers worldwide, managing Data and AI teams internationally for several years.
Web & Mobile
Throughout my career, I have designed and developed web and mobile applications. I have held various positions, including software engineer, enterprise architect, and CTO on multiple occasions.
Electronics & Robotics
I have a university degree in electrical engineering and robotic automation. As the co-founder and CTO of Jooxter, I created a connected micro-hardware board, from design and prototyping all the way to production deployment and operational maintenance.
Infrastructure & Datacenters
As a teenager, I felt in love with the Linux kernel. Since then, assembling motherboards with CPUs, GPUs, and RAM has become a passion. Today, digital sovereignty matters, and building on-premise infrastructure is a priority rather than relying heavily on expensive cloud services.
Key skills for making successful projects!
Communication
Clear and consistent communication helps prevent misunderstandings, reduce risks, and foster collaboration and teamwork. It enables project teams to work together more effectively and deliver better results.
Management
Effective management ensures that a project is delivered on time, within budget, and to the required quality standards by providing leadership, guidance, and support to the project team.
Vision
A clear and compelling vision is crucial to ensuring that everyone involved in a project understands its purpose, goals, and potential impact and feels motivated to work toward achieving them.
Expertise snapshot
I connect three practical domains: SaaS product engineering, AI and automation, and cyber-physical systems. This matters because modern products increasingly combine software architecture, AI workflows, APIs, data, growth loops and real-world operational constraints.
SaaS and product
Founder of Pixelixe, a profitable visual automation platform launched in 2018 and grown primarily through SEO, APIs and product-led utility.
AI and automation
Hands-on work with agentic assistants, LLM workflows, local AI runtimes, computer vision, data systems and production-grade automation.
Robotics and CPS
Engineering notes on Physical AI, robotics safety, ROS 2, Jetson edge AI, sensors, control loops and cyber-physical architectures.

side project
PIXELIXE
PIXELIXE is a creative automation platform .
Thousands of users rely on Pixelixe.com to automate their marketing by generating visuals in bulk.
The platform has:
- Thousands of active users each month.
- Millions of graphics created to date.
- APIs available for white-label integration in other websites.
- MCP connectors for AI integrations.
PIXELIXE has been a profitable project since the very first week after its launch in 2018. SEO has been the only acquisition channel used so far.

Companies & side projects timeline
KontrolPack
I began developing KontrolPack in my spare time as a student. The project grew rapidly, and I found myself managing contributors from Poland, Spain, and the US. It became a major success and was integrated into several popular Linux distributions.
FeelHome
I enjoyed and learned so much from building KontrolPack that I wanted to repeat the experience by launching a new product. FeelHome allowed me to strengthen my skills in product development and team management. I was able to launch this second project twice as fast as the first one. Experience is key.
Jooxter
After successfully launching two side projects, it was time to start my own venture (a dream of mine). The challenge was to find the right product-market fit and a business model in a niche project.
Pixelixe
In 2018, I launched Pixelixe, a creative automation platform, as a bootstrapped side project. I primarily dedicated my evenings, weekends, and holidays to working on this venture.
FoodTech Founders
In 2023, I founded a startup studio focusing on FoodTech and Impact with 2 other partners. We already launched amazing startups such as Choukran & Beans. More projects to come soon.
Synthwave Music
Dynamic and dreamy electronic Synthwave music I created.
