Hi, I'm François, a pragmatic engineer based in France who builds things.

• Languages: TypeScript (mainly), a bit of Python
• Frontend: React, Tailwind, TUI (ncurses), Markdown
• Backend: Hono, Express, Drizzle, Prisma, PostgreSQL, SQLite, MySQL
• Tools: Neovim, tmux, Arch Linux, GitHub Actions, k3s
• Self-hosting: Home Assistant, Jellyfin, Lidarr, Navidrome, and more

• 🔧 Building fullstack TypeScript apps with modern tools like Hono, Bun, Drizzle, and TanStack
• 🧭 Designing terminal UI tools like cursedtodo
• 🧠 Automating my digital life (and occasionally breaking it) with Home Assistant, ESPHome, and Zigbee
• 🎸 Playing guitar and crafting music playlists
• 🛰️ Hosting my own services, running Kubernetes on low-power gear, and advocating for data ownership

• Fullstack development using Bun, Hono, and TanStack libraries
• Refining a minimalist personal ecosystem (mail, notes, passwords, tasks)
• Learning about audio tagging, FOSS, and long-term digital autonomy

• 🦾 If you don’t control the stack, the stack controls you.
• 📵 No dark patterns, no vendor lock-in, no "cloud for cloud’s sake".
• 🧱 Open-source over everything. If it's broken, I’ll fix it... or build my own.

If you're into FOSS, self-hosting, or looking for a remote developer/devops engineer, let's talk.
