Hi, I'm Thomas.

IP law specialist turned Ruby on Rails developer, with a stint as a team manager. By day, I build a car rental marketplace at Getaround; in the evenings, my own products, as an excuse to learn. Here, I write down what I discover along the way.

Hello there

An IP law specialist turned Rails developer, I write down what I learn, what surprises me, and sometimes what I haven't figured out yet.

What I write about

  • engineering

    Rails, scalability, and the computer science concepts they lead me to dig into.

  • ai

    What LLMs change in the way I work, and what they let us build.

  • product

    Building what brings value to the end user, and knowing when to drop the rest.

  • maker

    Experiments and side projects, to learn by doing or to satisfy my curiosity.

  • food for thought

    Ideas worth chewing on, not always about code.
