2025 marks my first year as a founder in France—a transition from the abstract elegance of mathematical research to the “survival-first” reality of Proofmate.
Recently honored as part of Saclay 20, I operate on the conviction that a company’s social mission is only as strong as its profitability. Moving from “all brain” to “all hands,” I focus on bridging the gap between theoretical logic and professional-grade development. While others pivot toward the broad, I choose to stay the course in math education: going deep before going wide.
At Proofmate, we believe math education is not a utility, but a foundational elevation of human quality—built on resilience, one logical proof at a time.
