About

12 years building mobile apps. One person. Zero middlemen.

I'm MickaΓ«l. I've been designing and developing iOS and Android applications since 2013, from Bordeaux.

The story

How we got here

1

The origins

I started building mobile apps in 2013, when iOS and Android were still being built by hand. I learned by shipping β€” first for startups, then for international clients. More than 15 mobile apps later, I know exactly what breaks a project before it hits production.

2

The method

I don't subcontract. You talk to the person writing the code, never to a project manager who translates. Every engagement starts with a free scoping call to understand your goals, constraints, and users before any quote.

3

What this means for you

A technical partner who advises, supports, and brings ideas and proposals at every step. Who says no when needed, proposes simpler solutions when possible, and stays available long after launch. The apps I ship aren't demos β€” they run in production with real users, for years. According to Clutch (2025), working directly with an expert developer cuts project costs by up to 40% compared to agencies.

Principles

The rules that guide every project

🎯

Ownership

The person who prepares your quote is the one who writes your code. No middlemen, no translation of intent.

πŸ› οΈ

Craft over speed

12 years taught me what NOT to ship more than what to ship. Fewer features, better features.

πŸ”

Total clarity

No jargon, no black boxes. You always know where the project stands β€” and why.

Frequently asked questions

How does a first collaboration typically start?

It starts with a free consultation to understand your project, your goals, and your constraints. From there, I propose a clear roadmap with milestones and a detailed quote.

Do you only work on new projects?

No, I also take over existing projects, fix bugs in production apps, and modernize legacy codebases. A technical audit is the first step to assess the current state.

What happens after the app is launched?

I offer ongoing maintenance packages covering security updates, OS compatibility, bug fixes, and feature evolution. Your app stays healthy and up-to-date long after launch.
