Portrait of Guillaume

About

Hi, I'm Guillaume.

I'm a software architect and full-stack developer. For more than a decade I've designed systems for environments where a wrong decision is expensive to undo, which taught me to care less about the newest tool and more about the choices that still make sense a few years later.

This blog is where I slow down. Between client work, side projects, and the open-source code I contribute to when I can, I wanted a place to think in full sentences instead of in pull-request comments, away from the noise of the feeds.

I don't write to be right, but to understand. If something here resonates, or rubs you the wrong way, write to me: the conversation is usually worth more than the conclusion.

What I write about

  • Programming and architecture The decisions behind the code, not just the syntax: what holds up, what ages badly, and why.
  • AI Less hype, more honest notes on what it actually changes in the way we build and think.
  • Competitive programming The problems I solve for the pleasure of it, and what they teach about thinking clearly under constraints.
  • Travel Photos and field notes from the road, and what moving around does to the way you see things.
