Journey

A path that is anything but straight. That is what makes it useful.

Dancer, graphic designer, entrepreneur, coach, martial artist, gamer, and since November 2025, tool builder. People often told me I did too many things. Yet that is where my perspective comes from.

Being authentic is not becoming someone else. It is having the courage to become fully yourself.

The path

Every step left a lesson, a skill or an experience

Successes and falls alike. For each one, what I kept.

  1. The roots
  2. Childhood

    Raised across several cultures

    Togo, Benin, France. Dance, drawing, music, lots of sport. And a controller in my hands since the NES.

    What I keptSeveral worlds can live in a single person.

  3. The trades2001 — 2005
  4. 2001 — 2002

    Professional dancer and graphic designer

    Dance becomes a profession. Alongside it, events and graphic design.

    What I keptRigour, aesthetics, and the art of creating an experience.

  5. 2003

    A year in the United States

    Another culture, another mindset.

    What I keptThe environment we live in, and the people around us, have a real impact on our well-being.

  6. 2005

    Entrepreneur

    Several companies in communication and design. Management, sales, client relations, learned by doing.

    What I keptProfessional rigour, and several viewpoints on the business world and the professional system.

  7. The way2012 — 2017
  8. 2012

    The renewal

    A fresh start, in Belgium. Wing Tsun, seven to eight years of intense practice. Personal development, mentors, then Bushido.

    What I keptDiscipline of the body, calm, presence.

  9. Late 2012

    The first coaching, through gaming

    My personal development was changing my life, and it showed. A friend I played with asked for my secret, and insisted for more than two weeks that I coach him.

    What I keptWhat I live every day can be useful to others.

  10. 2016

    The birth of my son

    My first child. An event that changed my life deeply, and the order of what matters.

    What I keptBecoming a father makes you look your life in the face, and choose what you pass on.

  11. 2017

    Back to my roots

    First, a return to my origins. Then France, the Netherlands, and France again. A time of refocusing.

    What I keptYou only rebuild well on what you have looked in the face.

  12. The world2018 — 2021
  13. 2018 — 2019

    International consulting

    Clients in Europe, the Americas, Morocco and Dubai. Strategy, business development, coaching leaders.

    What I keptThe vision that connects worlds that don't talk to each other.

  14. 2020 — 2021

    Spain, starting from scratch

    A conscious choice: start from scratch, in a supportive environment, fertile ground to flourish.

    What I keptStarting from scratch is a choice, not a failure.

  15. The fall, and AI2022 — 2024
  16. 2022 — 2024

    Burnout

    A set of outside factors, and too long forcing myself against the grain of how I function. The rope ends up snapping: three years of burnout and depression.

    What I keptMy first tools were born to get me out of it.

  17. From late 2022

    AI, from ChatGPT's release

    I use it from day one, and improve month after month: the art of writing an AI's instructions, and building conversational assistants.

    What I keptAI does not replace humans. It is a powerful tool, but one to watch: it is not fully reliable.

  19. 2025 · first commit on 10 November

    Building with AI

    I move from assistants to development. I had never coded: I had a vision, a method, and AI as leverage.

    What I keptMy way of seeing was not enough, and neither was AI. It took experience and a rigorous method to combine the two.

  20. Today

    The building goes on

    And Shinkofa, my main work.

    • 70 projects
    • 10 apps built and in use
    • 1 client platform

A friend

“What's your secret? How do you do it?”

It all started with a game among friends

It was late 2012, on League of Legends. One of them had noticed my calm and self-control, in the game as in life. He insisted for more than two weeks that I coach him.

And gaming gave me two tools

Boken, a companion for Dofus. Kakusei, an esports platform that sees the person behind the player.

At heart

All my facets

This journey does not come down to one job. Each facet feeds the others, and it is all of them together that make my perspective.

  • The creativeDance, design, 24 years of images
  • The entrepreneur21 years building companies
  • The coachSince late 2012
  • The martial artistMore than 15 years of practice
  • The gamerSince the NES
  • The builder70 projects since November 2025
  • The fatherOf four children

And, on top of everything I have done and lived, I am a father of four.

We are not a single thing. Not a job, not a social identity. Many facets shape us, and none of them is enough to say who we are.
