Marseille, à petits pas
Follow Thor, the black dog, from the Old Port to the Calanques. Different neighbourhoods, shifting light and a visit to Mamie Pauline.

A personal space/Marseille, France
Projects & explorations.
I’m Thomas. I live in Marseille and find it hard to leave a good question alone. So I read, dig deeper, and sometimes it turns into an app.
01 / Discover
Projects to spend time with.
Les vers vivants
Texts to read, images to contemplate. An anthology where you can choose your own path — or let chance lead the way.
Open the anthology02 / What drives me
One question
leads to another.
I read to understand. I build to put ideas to the test.
I love animals. Thor, my dog and faithful companion, is never far away.
Literature & psychology
Words, behaviour, what makes us change our minds.
Mathematics & uncertainty
Statistics, probability, the limits of models. And plenty of Taleb.
Systems
Understand the rules and interactions. Build to test ideas.
A guiding principle
Perfection is reached when nothing remains to be removed.
Remove before adding.
Taleb’s via negativa: remove what causes harm or adds complexity.
Taleb on via negativaA few touchstonesCraft, purpose and action
The pursuit of excellence does not need justification.
He who has a why to live can bear almost any how.
If you move forward, you die. If you move back, you die. So why move back?
03 / In the workshop
From idea
to working tool.
I build with AI, from defining the problem to writing code.
AI applications
Connect models and data, evaluate answers, prepare for deployment.
Software engineering
Design simply. Test, review, secure.
Coding agents
Context, harnesses, tools and permissions. Delegate, then verify the results.
Product sense
Decide what to build. Start with a real use case, prototype, test with users.
