Hi, I'm Vanessa 👋🏻

AI Agentic Engineer & O.G Full Stack Developer


💅🏽 I've been building web & mobile experiences for almost 20 years. I love turning ideas into real, working things. Slick UIs. Complex backends. AI systems. And the tricky problems that come with all three. NodeJS, Rust, React, Swift and TypeScript are my daily tools, and AI-driven development is how I work now.

Based in Paris, France 🇫🇷, I've worked with major companies and startups across my career in London, New York, Orlando and Stockholm. Since 2006 I've had the chance to work with big companies, building SaaS apps, chats, CRMs, interfaces and a lot more. Some of the companies that hired me as a freelancer during my career: Airbus · L'Oréal · Total · Orange · Canal+ · Renault · AXA · Allianz · Carrefour · Dell · Sanofi · Royal Canin · Epson · SNCF · TF1 · ING Direct · Caisse des Dépôts · Kogama and more...

🔨 Right now I'm heads-down on three builds: two healthcare apps (React Native and Flutter), and an AI app for macOS written in Swift, shipping soon.

🤖 Lately, I've been working a lot with AI Agents and published free-coding-models, a TUI to find, benchmark & install free coding LLMs that got 2.5k+ GitHub Stars

I'm also building kandown, a local Kanban for long-running agent work. Every task is a plain Markdown file in your project, readable by you and your agents from a web board, a TUI, or the CLI. It's the missing memory layer for agent loops that run for hours.

I dev daily on macOS (M4 Pro) and also run Arch Linux Omarchy Linux as a local VPS for Hermes agent, herdr / moshi and a bunch of local models.

🎬 In parallel with all the code, I spent 15 years in audiovisual: director and live streamer, setting up the RTMP servers and running the broadcasts for live events, TV and YouTubers. Same instinct as shipping software, except live has no second take.

🎶 When I'm not coding, I'm making electronic music with Ableton Live and way too many VSTs, reading AI research papers, cuddling my cats and raising 2 teenagers. I'm a geography nerd too. 🌍

Got a project in mind? Let's talk!

An AI agent app for macOS and two healthcare apps. That's all I can say for now, shipping soon 👀


My daily harness: Ghostty with Claude Code in one tab and Codex in the other, pi for the tasks small enough to throw away, and Zcode on GLM 5.3 Flash, which I'm using a ton right now: amazing and cheap model. Hermes agent stays my second brain, writing everything down in Obsidian, herdr follows one tab per task from the Mac to the iPhone, and Zed is where I read the diff.
