Faraway

"I code stuff, sometimes it works on the first try."

🎲 How This Started

I love playing Faraway. The problem? Scoring at the end kills the vibe. Each card depends on others—it's a puzzle that's easy to get wrong.

One evening I thought: "What if a photo was enough to calculate the score?"

I knew nothing about computer vision, but that was precisely the point—a chance to learn.

🧪 Things I Got to Explore

Computer Vision

Card recognition from photos

Modern Web

SvelteKit, PWAs, offline mode

Cloud

AWS Lambda, S3, sync

Mobile UX

Designing for mobile

You learn best by building something you'll actually use.

👋 A Bit About Me

Software engineer in Paris. I like solving problems and seeing things work.

Currently interested in functional programming, team dynamics, and how infrastructure works under the hood.

Outside work, I love the mountains—hiking, exploring, getting lost in nature.
