I come from Lycée Pascal (Paris 16th arrondissement) with the math and economics/social sciences tracks. I joined Albert School because I love math and new technologies — many say I'm an Apple, ChatGPT, and Notion addict — and the business side. The 3 things I'm passionate about in life: - AI — I love implementing applications and LLMs in my daily life to be more productive. I'm probably the school's biggest user of ChatGPT and Mistral. - Cinema — I love going to the movies, rating my films on Letterboxd (jobnl), and taking an interest in directing. - Entrepreneurship — I love building, networking, pitching, getting involved, and taking action on projects. A few traits that define me: I'm very reserved by nature, but extremely organized. For me, anything that's not in my calendar doesn't exist. I try to be as structured as possible by using plenty of apps (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Dia, Fathom, Cursor, etc.). Experience and projects: last year, I co-founded the entrepreneurship club with Amine Djouamai (B3). With Amine and Abyane Nabeebaccus (B2MS), we launched an app to list inexpensive restaurants for students — a project that didn't pan out. This year, I was elected Vice President of AJC, the junior enterprise of Albert School: I automated the recruitment process, built the website, implemented the CRM, and contributed to numerous internal projects. With Marc Zahwa (B2MA), we organized an event on GenAI in luxury, with AI Partners, Coty, L’Oréal, and LVMH. I also helped define AJC's values: innovation, boldness, entrepreneurship, team spirit. A typical day: - Read my Aktionnaire newsletter in the morning - Go to class - Go to the bar with friends - Watch a film, a series, or anime - Work on a future project that I hope will launch soon ;) Hobbies: going to the movies, restaurants/drinks with friends, and since last November, the gym two to three times a week. What Albert School has given me: I've truly changed. I used to be very reserved. Today, I reach out to others, I speak up, I get involved. The atmosphere, the people I've met, and the projects have enabled me to start associations, work in teams, and believe in my ideas. I've met inspiring people in the administration (Grégoire, Matthieu, Alexandre in Marseille, etc.) and at events (Capgemini, MinArm, startups). It's given me confidence and opportunities. Commitment: I'm a sergeant reservist in the French Army and will have Data and AI missions at the Ministry of the Armed Forces. Serving my country is important to me. Project in progress: with Guillaume Rabeau (B2MA), we're developing a tool that we'll test at Albert School. Teaser: it's going to save you a lot of time! What's next? A master's at Albert School (perhaps the future Master in AI and Entrepreneurship). Then 2–3 years at a tech company (MistralAI, for example), before launching my own startup and carrying an idea from A to Z, fully and over the long term. ## Key Takeaways 1.
