Hi, Iโm Sylvain!
I build web products. For nearly two decades, Iโve been the person startups and agencies call when they need things to actually work.
Iโm specialised in web products and early-stage startups: SaaS platforms, social apps, and creative systems. From prototype to production-ready products with real users at scale.
I can operate at CTO level (setting strategy, defining architecture, mentoring teams) but I stay hands-on. I still design systems and write code every week.
I spent 3 years as CTO at Travis, building a collaborative travel platform. I also delivered award-winning creative tech for global brands during my 4 years as Technical Director at Clemengerย BBDO .
Today, Iโm building my own products, like Kuizto . I also partner with startups and agencies as a freelance builder and strategic advisor.
