About the author of the BnnT work journal

I have been working in the digital field for many years, first as a developer, then as a technical lead and manager. I have designed, evolved, and maintained products in a wide range of contexts: structured teams, growing projects, more constrained environments, sometimes unstable.

Today, I split my time between professional missions, personal projects, and a broader reflection on how digital products are built and sustained over time.

A technical background, but not only

Technology was long my main entry point. Architecture, code quality, performance, tooling: these are topics I still practice and know well.

Over time, I have learned that most difficulties are not purely technical. They are often related to:

  • poorly framed product decisions,
  • underestimated economic constraints,
  • organizational issues, priorities, or energy.

My interest now lies precisely at that intersection: where technology, product, and business meet, sometimes uncomfortably.

Projects as a field of experimentation

I work on several digital projects, across different domains: information, data, community platforms, decision-support tools.

I do not see them as showcases or “success stories.” They are living projects, with their progress, hesitations, and limitations. They serve as a concrete field of experimentation, allowing me to test ideas, confront hypotheses with reality, and learn continuously.

A search for sobriety

Over the years, I have taken some distance from accumulation:

  • of tools,
  • of features,
  • of promises.

I am increasingly interested in sobriety, in the broader sense:

  • technical sobriety, in architectural and infrastructure choices,
  • product sobriety, in what we decide not to build,
  • mental sobriety, in how we work and how we endure.

This blog is fully part of that approach.

What you will find here

On this site, I share:

  • situated feedback from real experience,
  • reflections in progress,
  • explained decisions, sometimes debatable,
  • project advances, but also doubts and renunciations.

This is neither a blog of universal advice nor a promotional space.
It is a place to document a path as it is, without trying to make it more coherent or more polished than it really is.

If some of these texts are useful to you, that’s great.
If they mainly help me clarify my own thinking, that will already be enough.

Collaborate, exchange

If you feel like exchanging, reacting to an article, or discussing a topic addressed here, the Collaborate page explains how to get in touch or contribute.
