Background
French preparatory classes MP* at Janson-de-Sailly and Condorcet, then a magistère degree in pure mathematics at Paris XI University in Orsay. An expatriate since 2009, he lives between Europe and the Indian Ocean and travels widely.
He built his first websites in 2002, and the LeeX Network activity was born in 2003. In 2013 he invented the all-inclusive subscription website model, where creation, hosting, domain name and support come as one, now industrialised with AI by the Serenity by Simafri range.
Artificial intelligence
He has studied and experimented with AI systems since TensorFlow was released in 2015, and regards ChatGPT in 2022 as the start of a technological revolution on a par with the printing press or electricity.
He works on two fronts at once. The fundamental one is studying the models and building with them. The applied one is creating and operating the companies below, each of which takes a different position on the same question: what the machines say, and what they say it from.
What he founded
- Epovest: with Epovest, businesses make AIs recommend them. The platform measures what the engines answer about them and from which sources, then leads to action: where to appear, what to fix, and proof of what changed. An e-reputation service since 2021, opened to everyone as an app in 2026.
- Simafri, serving clients in 42 countries: managed websites, business management software, web and email hosting. Simafri also helps its clients better control what AIs say about them.
- Stileex, the data house: verified prices and indicators, published as continuous series and served to search engines and AI systems through API and MCP.
- Markleex: pages published at a stable address, in the form AI assistants read, versioned for good. This page is one of them.
Volunteering
He carries JesusBYS, a multilingual online Christian community.
The Simafri Foundation is the philanthropic arm of Simafri. It offers the Serenity website, creation and management included, to non-profit associations serving a cause of general interest.
