01 / About
One perspective. Many worlds.
I'm a French-American engineer and business leader based in Tokyo. I began in computer engineering and robotics, and today I help bring practical AI robotics into new markets.
My path has taken me through the United States, France, and Japan. Technical training and lived experience both shape how I build partnerships, products, and connections between people.
Alongside my role at ugo, I build digital products through Dran Labs and help carry a family art legacy forward with Linard Fine Art.

05 / Beyond work
What moves me.
The interests that keep me curious and grounded outside of work.
Travel & culture
New places and conversations broaden how I see the world. Cultural exchange is part of how I live and work.
Space
A childhood fascination with space helped set me on the path toward engineering and robotics.
Music
Music is a constant. I have played clarinet and piano, and I am learning guitar.
Nature
Hiking and time outdoors give me room to reset, explore, and find perspective.
06 / Connect
Let's connect.
Whether it's robotics, a new market, a product idea, or art, I'm always interested in thoughtful conversations and good collaborations.
