About

CTO by day, maker by night. I build software for the French performing arts industry (payroll, booking, contracts) and hardware for fun — currently shipping Smart Led Messenger, a connected LED display you can control via web, API, or straight from an AI assistant through MCP. 20+ years in tech: .NET, PHP, Vue/Nuxt, self-hosted everything. I love bridging old-school infrastructure with new AI tooling, tinkering with ESP32s, and turning side projects into real products. Here to discover great products and share what I'm building. Always happy to talk IoT, MCP integrations, or indie hardware!

Smart Led Messenger - The LED display you can talk to via AI, API, or web

Smart Led Messenger is a connected LED display that scrolls what matters to you: personal messages, time, weather, air quality, news feeds, Bitcoin price, and more. Control it from the web portal, automate it via API, or simply ask your AI assistant — it ships with a built-in MCP server, so Claude or any MCP-compatible client can read and update your display in plain language. Set it up in minutes on your Wi-Fi. No app required, no subscription, no cloud lock-in.
