My story
I was born in a small town in France called Tulle. I moved to the US when I was twenty-three to study Electrical Computer Engineering and Physics.
I was briefly on my way to a PhD in nanophotonics, but thought better and joined the workforce.
I was lucky to be early (in the best days) at LinkedIn where I was a Staff Software Engineer for four years, then was an Engineering Manager. I started on the Profile team and later had a chance to build some of the technical foundations for the current linkedin.com experience. These years were some of my favorite years working for a company and a terrific learning experience. I learned there’s a way to do things fast, at scale and doing them well.
Once this tour of duty was completed, I started Truework in late 2019. There, I was the cofounder, CTO and led Product, Engineering, Design (EPD) and Product Marketing until we sold our business to Checkr in the middle of 2026. We raised more than $70M dollars to compete in the Mortgage infrastructure space and create a viable alternative to The Work Number.
We were lucky to have our work featured in many publications such as
- The New York Times
- The Wall Street Journal
- Fortune
- and many more…
Since then, I’m helping Checkr build their product. In particular, I’ve been having a blast trying to change how tenant screenings are run for small landlords in the United States. You can try the latest iteration of our product at https://tenant.checkr.com/.
